KAVANAUGH FBI REPORT: Senate Democrats are discussing the FBI report into Brett Kavanaugh, which was submitted last night. The FBI did not interview Kavanaugh himself, nor the more than 40 people who say they can corroborate sexual misconduct claims against him. The FBI also did not look into whether Kavanaugh had lied to Congress, and the GOP says the report will be kept secret from the public.
