Several former classmates of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh told CNN that they've had trouble getting in touch with the FBI to share information they believe is relevant for its investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against the judge.
The network spoke with several individuals who said they had not heard back from the FBI despite making efforts to reach out to the bureau.
Liz Swisher, a college classmate who suggested that Kavanaugh had been misleading about his drinking habits while he was a student at Yale University, told the outlet that she had not been contacted by the FBI as of Tuesday night.
Chad Ludington, who told CNN that he often drank with Kavanaugh during their first years at Yale, also said he had not heard from the FBI as of Wednesday afternoon, despite filling out a form to indicate he had information.
Kerry Berchem told the network that she sent multiple emails to the FBI, but had not heard back as of Wednesday. Berchem reportedly knew both Kavanaugh and Deborah Ramirez, who alleged that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a college party in the 1980s.
Kavanaugh has denied the allegation.
CNN legal analyst and former counsel to the U.S. assistant attorney general for national security told the network that it was not uncommon for those reaching out to the FBI to not hear back from the bureau.
"As a general matter, if the FBI is conducting an investigation," Cordero said. "They decide who they need to talk to."
The FBI is conducting a supplementary review of sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh. In addition to Ramirez, Christine Blasey Ford has alleged that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her during a high school party in 1982.
Ford and Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week regarding the allegations. Senators voted Friday to delay Kavanaugh's nomination, giving the FBI one week to investigate the allegations against him.
Julie Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, late last month that Kavanaugh attended a party where she was drugged with "Quaaludes or something similar" and attacked by a series of men in a "gang rape."
Kavanaugh has fiercely denied all allegations against him.
Senators are expected to review a report on Thursday from the FBI on its review of the claims.
As the investigation appears to near its conclusion, Senate Democrats have cast doubt on the thoroughness of the scope of the review, citing statements from Ford's attorneys and others saying they had not heard from the FBI.
Democrats have their reason to call the investigation incomplete or ask for more time to interview accusers.
I’m still sticking to my statement from last week that Kavanaugh won’t make it this session.
Wolf! There’s a wolf. Really! I’m serious this time. WOOOOLLLLFFFFFF!!!
The Democrats were never going to be happy about Kavanaugh’s confirmation, no matter how it took place.
Remember, these are the same people who have yet to accept the results of the 2016 election. There is no point whatsoever in trying to accommodate them, there never was. The only way they won’t scream and cry “racism-sexism-fascism” is if they get to put their own squishy liberal on the court, against the will of the American voters.
Real Americans have had enough of this Soros-funded, Schumer-led smear campaign. Time to vote.
The FBI is not researching Kavanaugh’s drinking habits.
All republicans and a handful of rts vote yea
Rts is rats
That sums it up!
Dems will send in tons of people the FBI should have talked to ,LOL
If the FBI wants to talk to you, they’ll find you. Not the other way around.
They need to put some ice on it.
he’s already passed successfully 6 FBI investigations
and
there’s absolutely nothing preventing anybody from providing information or evidence to the FBI at any time
Hey folks, you can email or fax your sworn statements directly to the Senate Judiciary Committee! Eliminate the middleman!
They really want a full-scale circus, don’t they?
And why is Drudge airing that NBC news video, with blond bimbos sagely nodding their heads when they mention Trump’s authority? I swear I am going to boycott him in the future. It’s bad enough with the screen constantly refreshing so the advertisers have to pay more money for “more screen views.”
Whaaaaa, I don’t know how to contact the FBI! Holton Arms sure does graduate dummies. Did they ever think to walk across the street and knock on their door with a signed and notarized statement?
“The FBI is not researching Kavanaugh’s drinking habits.”
Exactly. Whether or not these people saw Kavanaugh having a beer has nothing to do to being an eye witness to Ford being molested. It is just background noise.
The FBI is looking for evidence of a crime, not evidence of drinking.
Dims are in a pickle...how will they spin this?
They really can’t afford to claim the FBI can’t be trusted to do a thorough investigation and come to the ‘right’ conclusions.
What to do, what to do.. Poor Dims.
