Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) interrupted committee member Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) after Durbin asked Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to request of the White House that the FBI investigate the sexual assault allegations against him. Kavanaugh, when he had a chance to respond, did not voice support for the Bureau’s involvement.

It’s interesting that a nominee for the Supreme Court thinks that the testimony of the accused is the only investigation that is required. No need to do an independent investigation, no need to question witnesses, simply take the word of the accused as dispositive.
An excellent point. I hope one of the Dems raises this point.
