The FBI should not investigate a California professor’s allegations of sexual assault against U. S. Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh, the president said.
WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) — The FBI should not investigate a California professor’s allegations of sexual assault against U. S. Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, adding that he wanted his nominee to be confirmed quickly.
Asked whether he would ask the FBI to open its background check on Kavanaugh, Trump told reporters at the White House: «I don’t think the FBI really need to be involved because they don’t want to be involved. If they wanted to be, I would certainly do that, but as you know, they say this is not really their thing.» (Reporting by Roberta Rampton Writing by Susan Heavey; Editing by Doina Chiacu)
