Nine Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have sent a letter to White House counsel Don McGahn and FBI Director Christopher Wray with a list of 24 people and entities they believe the FBI should speak with as part of the ongoing supplemental background investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The letter, dated Monday and signed by all Democrats on the committee except for Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, notes that in addition to the allegation made against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford, two other women have come forward with allegations of their own: Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick.
“We believe that all three allegations should be included in the supplemental investigation,†the Democrats write, saying the 24 suggested people and entities should be interviewed “at a minimum.â€
In addition to asking for confirmation that the background investigation will include the allegations of all three women, the Democrats want McGahn and Wray to “notify us of the scope of the investigation and what the White House directed the FBI to investigate.â€
In addition to Ford, Swetnick, and Ramirez, the Democrats name Kavanaugh himself. It is unclear if Kavanaugh has been directed by the White House to cooperate or not.
Ford’s husband is named, as is Mark Judge, a friend of Kavanaugh’s who allegedly witnessed the sexual assault that took place by Kavanaugh against Ford in 1982.
