Senate Dems slam 'incomplete,' 'limited' FBI report
By Jordain Carney - 10/04/18 11:44 AM EDT
Top Senate Democrats on Thursday knocked the FBI's investigation into sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as "incomplete" and too narrow in scope.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Judiciary Committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) spoke with reporters after getting briefed on the FBI's report, which senators say is about 50 pages and includes interviews or statements from 10 individuals.
"We had many fears that this was a very limited process that would constrain the FBI from getting the facts. ...Those fears have been realized," Schumer told reporters on Thursday.
Feinstein characterized the FBI's investigation as "incomplete," floating that it might have been "limited" by the White House.
The press conference comes as senators began viewing the FBI's report on Thursday morning. Most Democrats began filing into a secure location in the Capitol basement around 11 a.m. to be briefed by Judiciary Committee staff and view the report.
