House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for all documents related to the FBI’s investigation of assault allegations against Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh.
In a Sunday press release, she said that she has requested the release of the full report, interview transcripts and communication between the White House, Senate Republicans and the FBI.
The report has only been read by senators and some of their staffers so far.
Public release of the report and its background materials could fan the flames of controversy surrounding it, as many — including some of Kavanaugh’s accusers and old classmates — claim that they were ignored or stonewalled by the FBI when they tried to come forward with their recollections. The FBI also omitted Kavanaugh himself from the interview list.
Kavanaugh was confirmed to the bench on Saturday under a pall of protest and by a nearly party-line vote.
It may be over, but I’m glad we have people working on informing us, even if it’s after the fact.
Awesome!! We can hit the ground running in January with subpoenas being issued ASAP.!!!
She’s not a fighter? Hard to see this as anything but her way of saying to Kavanaugh, now a sitting Supreme Court Justice, “This is not over, pal, and we’re coming at you.” Looks like any hope he had of being a normal, asterisk-free justice lasted part of a weekend.
This was inevitable, but I am glad that they are jumping on this now rather than waiting for control of the House in January.
Wonder how soon the naysayer will show up. Although he’s probably taking his morning nap.
