Grassley says FBI found 'no hint' of Kavanaugh misconduct, while Democrats slam probe as 'incomplete

[Donkees]

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said Thursday that an FBI investigation found "no hint" of sexual misconduct by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, even as Democrats called the agency's probe incomplete.

The Iowa Republican and his Democratic colleagues clashed again Thursday after seeing a report about the bureau's nearly week long supplemental background check into the appeals judge. A sexual assault accusation and two other claims of sexual misconduct have stalled Kavanaugh's confirmation and dragged the Senate into a partisan slugfest intensified by President Donald Trump's commentary. Republicans are pushing to confirm Kavanaugh, who has denied all allegations, later this week.

"These uncorroborated accusations have been unequivocally and repeatedly rejected by Judge Kavanaugh, and neither the Judiciary Committee nor the FBI could locate any third parties who can attest to any of the allegations," Grassley said on Thursday morning.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., quickly disputed Grassley's comments and called for the documents to be released publicly. Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein also said "the most notable part of this report is what's not in it." The California Democrat decried an "incomplete investigation" that she said was "limited, perhaps by the White House."
