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 made their comments Thursday after seeing a report about the bureau's nearly week long supplemental background check into the appeals judge. Kavanaugh faces a sexual assault accusation and two other claims of sexual misconduct as Republicans push to confirm him to the top U.S. court this week. He has denied all allegations.
"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.
