Schumer Statement On Latest Allegations Against Judge Kavanaugh
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Chuck
Schumer today released the following statement on the latest allegations to
come out against Judge Kavanaugh:
“Republicans need to immediately suspend the
proceedings related to Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination, and the president must
order the FBI to reopen the background check investigation. There are now
multiple, corroborated allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, made under the
penalty of perjury, all of which deserve a thorough investigation.
“I strongly believe Judge
Kavanaugh should withdraw from consideration. If he will not, at the very
least, the hearing and vote should be postponed while the FBI investigates all
of these allegations. If our Republican colleagues proceed without an
investigation, it would be a travesty for the honor of the Supreme Court and
our country.”
