July 22 (UPI) — A group of Senate Democrats on Thursday requested further scrutiny of the FBI’s investigation into sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after the agency said it received more than 4,500 tips related to the probe. The members of the Senate Judiciary Committee led by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Chris Coons, D-Del., wrote in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray alleging that details of the investigation shared in a June 30 letter by Jill Tyson, assistant FBI director, showed the agency was politically influenced.
