Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Saturday announced that his committee investigation into allegations of sexual assault made against then-Supreme Court nominee and current Justice Brett Kavanaugh had produced no evidence to support those allegations.

“In the end, there was no credible evidence to support the allegations against the nominee,” Grassley wrote in a statement Saturday.

Democrats and lawyers for some of Kavanaugh’s accusers have said committee Republicans inappropriately limited the investigation’s scope. Saturday’s report on the investigation noted: “In sum, the Committee spoke to 45 individuals and collected 25 written statements.”

The report is 414 pages long including evidentiary documents, though without those documents it runs 28 pages.
