Dear MoveOn member,
The FBI has admitted that it never conducted a thorough investigation of accusations against Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings to the Supreme Court—referring tips about Kavanaugh directly to the Trump White House instead of pursuing them directly.1
It's one more reminder that Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Senate Republicans rushed through Kavanaugh's confirmation in a right-wing power grab—and that Kavanaugh never should have been confirmed.
Now, with the revelation that the FBI collected more than 4,500 tips about Kavanaugh, the allegations of sexual assault must be fully investigated. Congress can take action now to launch a full investigation and begin impeachment proceedings, which could potentially result in Kavanaugh's removal from the court.
When Donald Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, multiple women came forward bravely to share their experiences of Kavanaugh's sexual assault, aggression, and maliciousness. Now, we know for sure the FBI never fully investigated these credible accusations—because they were following the Trump administration's politicized direction on how to conduct the investigation.
Clearly, this investigation was incomplete, inexcusable, and designed to dismiss the multiple cases of sexual assault brought forward.
Nobody should be in a lifetime seat on the nation's highest court under such circumstances. The Senate must impeach Kavanaugh immediately.
An impeachment process would give a chance to thoroughly investigate the claims against Kavanaugh, give survivors the hearing they deserve, and could lead to removal of a man unfit to serve on the nation's highest court.
Thanks!
