President Trump orders FBI probe into Brett Kavanaugh; Senate vote delayed
The Supreme Court nominee has also been accused of sexual misconduct from two other women — Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick.
President Donald Trump ordered a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into the sexual assault allegations against his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Friday, shortly after Republicans and the White House agreed to a one-week delay to the Senate voting process for Kavanaugh's confirmation, according to CNN.
Trump, in a statement, said: "I've ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh's file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week."
