Judiciary Dems call on GOP counterparts to correct Kavanaugh tweets
By Brett Samuels - 10/03/18 06:01 PM EDT
A group of Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday accused Republicans on the panel of mishandling information related to sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) led a group of eight committee Democrats in a letter to Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), in which the minority party members claimed the majority had shared inaccurate or misleading information about Kavanaugh’s previous background checks.
The Democrats highlighted a tweet from the Senate Judiciary Committee account, which is operated by GOP staff, that claimed none of Kavanaugh’s prior six FBI background checks turned up “a whiff of ANY issue – at all – related in any way to inappropriate sexual behavior or alcohol abuse."
