Senate Democrats have referred a letter concerning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the FBI for investigation.
“This matter has been referred to the FBI for investigation,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat and a member of the Judiciary Committee, told BuzzFeed News on Thursday about the letter.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill that the letter had been referred to the FBI for investigation.
The letter has been the subject of days of intrigue on Capitol Hill but the contents of it have not been publicly disclosed by senators who have seen the document.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) was given the letter by Calif. Rep. Anna Eshoo (D), according to multiple reports.
But Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, has refused to answer multiple questions about the letter over the past two days.
She confirmed in a statement on Thursday that she had referred the matter to federal authorities.
"I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further," Feinstein said.
"I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities," she continued.
Questions about the letter boiled over on Wednesday after The Intercept published a piece saying Feinstein had refused to share the content of the letter with other members on the committee.
Sources told The Intercept that the letter was relayed by an individual affiliated with Stanford University. Some sources told the publication that it was about an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman while they were in high school.

This was all while he was in 2nd grade. I hope this is thoroughly investigated.
That’s what happens when you give that evil RATS too much time to play in the playground! They don’t call us the stupid party for nothing! This vote for confirmation should’ve taken place immediately! Now there is a chance they’ll derail this nomination with the hellish help of the mediaVOMITS demons and the evil swamp pukes, Kavanaugh is screwed! Even if it’s the biggest fabricated lie the mediapukes will pound it to the ground 24/7 and the pubs will fold!!! Can you say September surprise! Yet Feinstein can get away with having a Chinese spy as her right hand man in her employment spying on America for 20 years and get away with it! I am so *ucking sick of this crap!!
It's more egregious than that, rumor had it she peeked over on his test paper and stole a question answer.

High School? Really? What? 40 years later some bitch decides he looked at her funny in High School and they refer the issue to the FBI? These bastards are sick.
this is very bad. Weak-knee’ed folks like Susan Collins will use this as an excuse.

What? An anonymous charge from an anonymous source? It’s come down to this? Give it a rest. Sen. Collins in perhaps more than a bit pissed off by having callers to her office threaten to rape female staff members if they vote for Kavanaugh.
This is how they got Moore..it worked like a charm even though the handwriting was fake on the yearbooks!! McConnell better effin fight for this man!!! I’m sick of losing the battle of fairness with these f**king bastards!! SICK OF IT!!
Yearbook..****ing net autocorrect!!
This will only damage the FBI. They better watch out as the libtards play them like a fiddle.
I agree with an earlier poster, they should have just scrapped the whole committee questioning circus, voted his nomination out of committee, and held the floor vote weeks ago. There is no reason to delay this.
Tomorrow the NY Times will have an op-ed anonymous letter from another person he went to school with
I don’t have decent words to express my feelings toward the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee at this time.
The woman who is the subject of the letter is being represented by Debra Katz, a whistleblower attorney who works with #MeToo survivors...

Well, so much for Kavanaugh’s nomination. This is the excuse that Collins, Murkowski, Corker and Flake needed.
If there was something to this, Leaky Leahy and Durbin would be at the microphones immediately.
“I have here in my hand a list of 205 employees of the DC Appeals Court who were known to Kavanaugh as being members of The US Nazi Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the DC Appeals Court.”
Those who know a bit of history may be suspicious of such secret letters and lists and may also know how the very same people who are sending this secret letter to the FBI have use their characterization of such things to further their careers for the past fifty years.
Of course, not that they're the ones with a letter . . .
How many women threatened to sue Trump or actually sued but dropped it before the court date came? Seems like a tactic the left has adopted for attacking conservatives. Find women to make accusations - it often works even if they aren’t willing to go the full distance and commit perjury in court, but only lie to the media.
No credibility here...
