Despite Senate Democrats going silent on the issue Nancy Pelosi has decided she will fight to make the FBI’s Kavanaugh report public. The House Minority Leader has stated that she will file a FOIA request aiming to make the report public.
According to The Daily Wire:
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced over the weekend that she’s planning to file a Freedom of Information Act request so that she and other House Democrats can get a good look at an FBI report compiled on now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The Washington Times reports that Pelosi believes Republicans “purposefully limited” the FBI’s investigation — even though both Senate Republicans and the White House flatly deny placing any limitations on the FBI — and wants the report, which found no evidence that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford some 36 years ago, made public.
“In purposefully limiting the FBI investigation, it is clear the Republicans were not seeking the truth,” Pelosi said in a statement Saturday. “They were seeking cover to do what they wanted to do anyway. To add insult to injury they, blocked the public’s access to the report.”
“The conduct of the Senate Republican Majority did violence to the reputation of both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Supreme Court,” she continued, “We must proceed in a judicious manner to set the record straight and ensure that this never happens again.”
Pelosi has also promised to launch a full-scale investigation into Kavanaugh if the Democrats take control of the House after the November elections.
