“I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities.”
— Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, in a statement last week about receiving a letter describing a Bay Area woman’s allegation of sexual misconduct by President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, when they were in high school. Kavanaugh denies the allegation.
