Kavanaugh Accusers Demand FBI Investigation, Senate Hearings

HeadlineSep 28, 2018

Swetnick has demanded a chance to testify under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee. So has another accuser, Deborah Ramirez, who says Kavanaugh exposed himself and thrust his genitals in her face during a party when they were both students at Yale University. Ramirez’s attorneys say they’ve been stymied by the committee’s majority Republicans as they’ve tried to arrange to have Ramirez testify. Throughout Thursday’s Senate hearing, Judge Kavanaugh repeatedly refused to call for an FBI investigation into the allegations. This is California Democrat Dianne Feinstein questioning Kavanaugh.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “What you’re saying, if I understand it, is that the allegations by Dr. Ford, Ms. Ramirez and Ms. Swetnick are wrong.”

Judge Brett Kavanaugh: “That is emphatically what I’m saying. Emphatically. The Swetnick thing is a joke. That is a farce.”

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “Would you like to say more about it?”

Judge Brett Kavanaugh: “No.”
