BRETT KAVANAUGH/FBI/SEX ABUSE/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “President Donald Trump on Thursday [10-3-18] declared that the allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh are ‘totally uncorroborated’ and will possibly benefit Republicans in the upcoming midterms…The tweet came as senators were set to begin reviewing the results of an FBI investigation into the allegations against Kavanaugh levied by Christine Blasey Ford, who claims Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. After a cascade of leaked confidential information related to Kavanaugh’s confirmation, only senators and a select few staffers can review the investigation under strict time restrictions. The White House received the results of the FBI investigation ahead of the senators’ review. White House spokesman Raj Shah said on CNN he can’t discuss the contents of the investigation or provide a list of who was interviewed, though Ford’s lawyers have said their client was never interviewed by the FBI. Several friends and colleagues of Ford and Kavanaugh have spoken publicly about their recollections, including classmates who said Kavanaugh largely underplayed his drinking during his testimony last week.”
