Friday evening, the FBI began its supplemental background investigation, focusing on charges of sexual assault allegedly at the hands of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Limited in scope and time, the fresh probe may or may not produce new information.
There are three allegations pending against the Supreme Court nominee. These are spread across years and locations and the witnesses are legion. However, instructions from the White House are limiting what the feds can pursue, and the most serious allegations involving gang rape have been excluded.
Here is a quick look at those allegations against Kavanaugh and significant witnesses that ought to be on the FBI list. Note that the excluded charges by Julie Swetnick are included. The term witness is meant in a generic sense and does not imply that an individual can provide a first-hand account or is a corroborating witness.
