While congressional Republicans declared Thursday that nothing new was learned from the FBIs limited scope investigation of Brett Kavanaugh, congressional Democrats lamented that the FBI investigation wasnt thorough enough. On this same day, near 500 alumni and current students at Kavanaughs alma mater of Yale demanded that the U.S. Senate open up a perjury investigation.
The letter was addressed to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (Calif.).
For centuries the Yale motto Lux et Veritas (light and truth) has adorned archways across the New Haven campus. We the undersigned students and graduates of Yale University believe this motto carries with it an important obligation to seek truth at any cost. As the U.S. Senate considers Judge Brett Kavanaughs Supreme Court confirmation, it must demand that the nominee be truthful about relevant incidents in his past and hold him to account if hes not, the letter began. During the hearings, Judge Kavanaugh attempted to present himself to the Senate and the public as an honorable member of society who has worked hard to gain his elevated status in government and academia.
Yet many people have brought forth credible evidence that this portrayal is inaccurate; this evidence includes serious allegations of sexual assault and misconduct, including misconduct against Yale graduate Deborah Ramirez (class of 87) while she and Kavanaugh attended the university, they said.
