The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been instructed by the White House to interview two of the women who have alleged sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh, according to people familiar with the matter.
The parameters of the FBI probe don’t include interviewing Julie Swetnick, who said this week the Supreme Court nominee attended a party decades ago where she was gang-raped, according to one of the people.
The focus on the first two accusations suggests that the White House doesn’t consider Ms. Swetnick’s accusations credible, people familiar with the instructions said, a decision that drew criticism from Ms. Swetnick’s attorney, Michael Avenatti.
The Wall Street Journal has attempted to corroborate Ms. Swetnick’s account, contacting dozens of former classmates and colleagues, but couldn't reach anyone with knowledge of her allegations. No friends have come forward to publicly support her claims.
She has recorded a TV interview to be aired Sunday, the first woman making accusations against the Supreme Court nominee to do so. NBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday aired a clip of her interview with John Heilemann of Showtime’s “The Circus,” in which Ms. Swetnick called for an investigation into the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh.
Republican Sen. Jeff Flake demanded on Friday that the FBI be allowed up to a week to investigate allegations against Judge Kavanaugh before the full Senate considers his nomination. President Trump later in the day ordered the FBI to conduct a “supplemental investigation” to Judge Kavanaugh’s routine background check that would be limited to credible allegations of sexual assault and conclude in less than a week.
That investigation, already under way, is being “tightly controlled” by the White House, and the FBI won’t have free rein to pursue all potential leads, according to the person who said Ms. Swetnick’s allegations wouldn’t be included.

Avenatti needs to have an accident
Exactly.
If the WSJ thinks this is news why didn’t any of the Dems mention the third accuser at the hearing?
“according to one of the people”
totally fake news ... Sara Sanders said this morning that the Senate Judiciary Committee made the referral and set the parameters of the investigation and that Trump simply forwarded the request and ordered the FBI to do what the Committee wanted ...
This is the new drum beat now someone really wants the gang rape enabler victim lady to talk to the FBI.
This is the 3rd article I have seen today.
Sweatnick is the one who alleged there were rape rooms. Who but the liberal lunatic fringe would believe her story?
It doesn’t matter if they find absolutely no crime with Judge kavanuagh ..they are playing a mind game towards the two RINOS who are sitting on the fence!! Watch Collins and that other witch come out saying that 1week FBI investigation was not enough!! I feel it in my bones!! They are going to side with the evil rats...TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!
Seems that way. Shame.
The gang rape prostitution ring is BEYOND LAUGHABLE..what next, is Kavanaugh going to be accused of killing Jimmy Hoffa
I don’t think they are going to side with Creepy Porn Lawyer
Well. If he is not confirmed every republican voting against him is finished. It’s that simple and I hope the President says this after the vote. Collins and Murkowski already tanked just the proposition of Obamacare being brought to conference, and of course McCain
Has she signed a declaration stating this happened? If she hasn’t f’her.
Third Brett Kavanaugh Accuser Was Sued in 2000 for False Allegations of Sexual Misconduct
Exactly.
there were rape rooms.
Highly reminiscent of the rape rooms of the Child Care frenzy of the 1980’s. False memories were implanted in pre-school age children by scurrilous psychologists. Many innocent adults were imprisoned.
Because, after all, children don’t lie...
That’s the horrifying reality in a few sentences.
bookmark
the wsj and nbc both published stories about only 2 of the 3 being investigated
but after the WVA rally yesterday, Trump tweeted he put no restrictions
so are they or aren’t they?
(personally I hope they give Swetnik and CPL the same treatment as boat boy - criminal prosecution for false statements)
