Trump says no FBI probe needed on Supreme Court pick
WASHINGTON, Sept 18, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – President Donald Trump said Tuesday
that there is no need for FBI involvement in the scandal threatening to
derail his pick for a coveted place on the US Supreme Court.
“I don’t think the FBI should be involved because they don’t want to be
involved,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
Conservative judge Brett Kavanaugh appeared set to sail through Senate
confirmation for the vacancy on the nation’s top court until a California
professor publicly accused him of having sexually assaulted her when they
were teenagers almost four decades ago.
