Civil Rights Groups Urge Congress to Reassess FBI Investigation into Justice Kavanaugh

In a renewed call for scrutiny, over 50 civil rights organizations have urged the U.S. Congress to re-examine the FBI’s investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. These groups are seeking further investigation into the extent of the Trump White House’s involvement in ostensibly limiting the scope of the FBI’s review during Kavanaugh’s contentious 2018 confirmation process. The demands for a deeper investigation highlight continuing concerns regarding the transparency and integrity of the procedures that preceded Kavanaugh’s appointment to the nation’s highest court.
