Senate Leaders Spar Over FBI Kavanaugh Report Ahead of Confirmation Vote

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer speak on the Senate floor about the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh following the conclusion of the FBI's report into sexual misconduct allegations against the judge from the 1980s. Senator McConnell defends Judge Kavanaugh's right to due process, saying the allegations "have not been corroborated." Senator Schumer reiterates that the FBI report is limited and that the Bureau's hands were tied by Republicans and the White House. He also calls for the White House directive to the FBI on the scope of the investigation to be released to the public. close
