[Guardian] The FBI will not interview Julie Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, according to multiple reports and Republican senator Lindsey Graham, highlighting the narrow scope of the agency’s supplemental investigation into Donald Trump’s supreme court nominee.
After NBC News and the other outlets said Swetnick would not be questioned, the White House, which has stood by Kavanaugh through the fallout from an explosive Senate hearing on Thursday, denied it was limiting the investigation.
On Saturday Donald Trump said on Twitter he wanted the FBI "to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion".
On Sunday Kellyanne Conway, a senior Trump counselor, told CNN’s State of the Union: "We trust the hardworking men and women of the FBI to do their jobs, and they will determine what will be included within that scope." |
