The Senate will vote this morning on whether to end debate on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, setting up a confirmation vote as early as Saturday. Key Republican senators, including Susan Collins of Maine, Jeff Flake of Arizona and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, have yet to announce their position on the vote. Yesterday, both senators Flake and Collins said that the recent FBI background report into Kavanaugh was “thorough” and did not corroborate Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations against the nominee. Democratic leaders said the report, which was withheld from the public and was made available in a single copy to senators yesterday, was “incomplete.” This is ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dianne Feinstein.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “The most notable part of this report is what’s not in it. As we noted by the White House, the FBI did not interview Brett Kavanaugh, nor did the FBI interview Dr. Blasey Ford. What we’ve heard from numerous people over the last few days seeking to provide information to the FBI, we have seen even more press reports of witnesses who wanted to speak with the FBI but were not interviewed. Deborah Ramirez’s lawyer said he was unaware of any corroborating witnesses who were interviewed.”
