With new questions arising about the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Monday defended his committee’s investigation of allegations against the then-nominee, calling it an “incredibly thorough review” into Kavanaugh’s personal and professional life.
Grassley, who oversaw the confirmation process as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee last fall, made the remarks after new allegations arose over the weekend, calling into question the scope and extent of the committee’s work and the FBI’s investigation of Kavanaugh.
