Sen. Coons: FBI Ignoring Tips on Brett Kavanaugh ‘Calls into Question that Confirmation Process’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "Well, Senator Whitehouse and I have been trying for nearly two years to get clear answers from the FBI. The FBI provides the background check process for Cabinet officials and for senior judicial nominees and justices. And I think what this letter did was it raised more questions than it answered. The idea that there were 4500 Americans who reached out to this tip line to provide information and yet no further investigation was done, really calls into question that confirmation process. We need to get more clarity on this, about what happened, what should happen, and what will happen for future confirmation processes in order for me to rest more easily and in order for the public to have more confidence in the confirmation process in the Senate."
