A new report details how the Trump White House secretly killed an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegations against then–Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The White House under sexual abuser Donald Trump secretly worked to suppress an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh while his Supreme Court nomination was under consideration by the Senate.
In September 2018, when Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault, Trump promised that the FBI would have “free rein” to fully investigate the claims, adding that the bureau was “talking to everybody.”
“I want them to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion,” Trump posted on Twitter at the time. However, The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Trump’s assertions were all a farce, citing a new report by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Whitehouse’s report states that the FBI was directed to conduct a limited investigation in only a week, and requested “additional guidance” from the White House. But Trump administration officials never provided any authorization for a deeper probe into the allegations against Kavanaugh.

Convicted felon, rapist, protects an alleged rapist
Is there anything Trump hasn’t lied about?
You have to have some true statements here and there like “I’m a liar” otherwise you dip into paradox territory.
The only consistent thing about him is that he is always lying.
How hot he finds his daughter?
Thanks for reminding me!
I don’t think he was lying about that.
Precisely
He got a letter from north Korea?
Imagine that.
Rapist protects other rapists so the can rape some more
I wonder if this wouldn’t be grounds to reopen a more thorough investigation under a Democratic president.
Wouldn’t matter. The only means of reversing this is impeachment of a SCOTUS judge, or him stepping down willingly. That’s why things like passing laws for term limits matter, to at least eventually get these people off the bench.
It’s sad, but honestly my my hope with that would be further erosion of the public support and opinion of the conservative wing of SCoTUS and a growth in support for expansion.
Then why didn’t the FBI hold a press conference and disclose this to the public? Make it known what the President was doing?
A functional Congress would have him off any cases by the end of the day and an indictment trial scheduled to start by next week to get him off the bench. If you or I lied and changed the results of a background check our employers would be well within their prerogative to fire with cause.
“Rapist Trump Lied About–” needs to start every headline for stories about that guy.
Wait… you mean rapist Donald Trump? We taking about that rapist? Or a different one?

Law enforcement has little to do with anything here. Nobody is trying to arrest him or press charges. But a guy with a compelling rape allegation levied against him should under no circumstances be allowed to serve on the highest court. It’s utterly baffling that he’s there. But here we are.
