Rapist Trump Cheated Brett Kavanaugh’s Way Onto The Supreme Court
Top takeaway: The sham FBI investigation was little more than a set-up for Republicans to vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court while pretending not to condone sexual assault.
At the time of Kavanaugh's confirmation, you probably recall there were multiple sexual assault allegations against him.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse recently released his damning report into what was supposed to have been a thorough investigation into those allegations. His summary: “The Trump White House restricted FBI investigators and lied to the American people about the investigation and tip line. Six-year-long Senate inquiry was hampered by repeated executive branch obstruction.”
Whitehouse talked to Lawrence O’Donnell Tuesday night about the chief conclusions of the report. First, Trump lied to the U.S. when he said the FBI had free reign to investigate the allegations. In reality, the FBI was “told exactly what to do every step of the way by [Trump] White House lawyers,” Whitehouse said.
