Trump has FBI investigate Kavanaugh

washington - President Donald Trump instructed the FBI to conduct additional investigations into the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh. 'As the Senate has requested, that research must be limited in scope and completed within a week,' the statement said.

Kavanaugh has been nominated by Trump as a member of the Supreme Court. He became discredited by the claim that in his high school days he had committed sexual cross-border behavior.

The Republican majority in the Senate Justice Commission supported Kavanaugh on Friday with eleven to ten votes, but also responded to the wish of Jeff Flake, the doubter in the GOP group, to call in the federal police for this affair. After that, the full Senate will decide on Kavanaugh's candidacy.

Christine Blasey Ford, who came out with the sexual assault story, applauds the investigation by the FBI. She believes, according to her lawyer Debra Katz, that no artificial limitation in terms of time or scope should be imposed.
