The FBI has concluded its investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh amidst criticism the bureau did not talk to key witnesses, including Christine Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh himself.
The Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, confirmed the FBI concluded its investigation and the White House delivered Kavanaugh’s updated background file to the committee at 2:30 a.m.
Ford, who testified that Kavanaugh allegedly sexually assaulted her at a house party when she was 15 and he was 17, was not interviewed as part of the investigation, her lawyers said.
“We are profoundly disappointed that after the tremendous sacrifice she made in coming forward, those directing the FBI investigation were not interested in seeking the truth,” Ford’s counsel said in a statement.
The file is being held in the Office of Senate Security — a locked room that only the 100 senators and a very limited number of cleared committee staff can access.
