Congressional Report Reveals Trump White House Controlled 2018 FBI Kavanaugh Probe
Oct 8, 2024, 04:29 PM
A congressional report has revealed that the Trump White House tightly controlled a 2018 FBI investigation into sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The report indicates that the FBI was not given the freedom to independently probe the allegations and that messages to the FBI tip line were forwarded directly to the White House without being investigated. Additionally, the FBI had no written protocols for the supplemental background investigation ordered by the White House. The findings, documented in a report released by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, contradict former President Donald Trump's claims that the FBI had 'free rein' to investigate the allegations.
