Schumer on Kavanaugh and Christine Ford: ‘We Need an FBI Preliminary Investigation’

‘What Dr. Ford is saying and what Judge Kavanaugh is saying cannot be true’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "Judge Kavanaugh repeatedly denied knowledge of the Bush Administration’s policy on detention and interrogation. But recently released e-mails show that wasn’t accurate. Judge Kavanaugh denied working on the controversial nomination of Judge William Pryor, but recently released e-mails show that wasn’t accurate either. In the case of Dr. Ford’s allegations, the Senate and the American people must ask themselves once again is Judge Kavanaugh’s complete denial credible? Both can’t be true. What Dr. Ford is saying and what Judge Kavanaugh is saying cannot be true. That’s why we need hearings and that’s why we need a bunch of witnesses and that’s why we need an FBI preliminary — to continue its investigation. Because there’s an issue of credibility here. And when you’re nominating someone to the highest court in the land, their credibility should be unimpeachable.”
