FBI Director Wray Confirms Kavanaugh Investigation Was "Limited in Scope"

FBI Director Christopher Wray tells California Democratic Senator Kamala Harris under questioning that the Bureau's background check investigation was "limited in scope" but was "consistent" with past background checks. However, he says he doesn't know if the direction to limit the probe came from White House Counsel Don McGahn and if it came in writing. He also declines to say if Judge Kavanaugh lied during his testimony to the Senate or why the judge and his accuser, Professor Christine Blasey Ford, were not questioned as part of the expanded background check requested by the White House on behalf of the Judiciary Committee. close
