Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said the House would investigate Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh if he’s confirmed to the court and the Democrats\u2026<\/b>
\nRep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said the House would investigate Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh if he’s confirmed to the court and the Democrats take back the majority.
\u201cWe would have to investigate any credible allegations certainly of perjury and other things that haven\u2019t properly been looked into before,\u00a0\u00bb Nadler said on ABC’s \u00ab\u00a0This Week.\u00a0\u00bb
He left open the possibility that the Senate and the FBI do an adequate job investigating Kavanaugh so the House wouldn’t need to step in.
\u00ab\u00a0If he is on the Supreme Court and the Senate hasn\u2019t investigated, then the House will have to,\u00a0\u00bb he said. Nadler is the likely next chairman of the House Judiciary Committee if the Democrats retake the House in November’s elections.
Nadler said it would be \u00ab\u00a0a real problem\u00a0\u00bb if the FBI’s investigation into Kavanaugh isn’t thorough and that he hopes Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz), who called for the investigation, won’t vote for Kavanaugh without a \u00ab\u00a0proper investigation.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0I would hope that Senator Flake and others would make clear that they will not vote for the nominee unless there is a free hand for proper investigation of these very serious allegations of sexual assault,\u00a0\u00bb he said.
\u00ab\u00a0We cannot have a justice on the Supreme Court for the next several decades\u2026 who has been credibly accused of sexual assaults,\u00a0\u00bb Nadler added.
President Trump on Friday asked the FBI to conduct a \u00ab\u00a0limited\u00a0\u00bb investigation into sexual misconduct accusations made against Kavanaugh.
Christine Blasey Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a high school party in the 1980s. Kavanaugh has strongly denied those allegations, including during testimony Thursday in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Two other women, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick, have also publicly accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct since last week. Kavanaugh has also denied those accusations.<\/p>\n
