Kavanaugh Cleared of Wrongdoing in Senate Judiciary Committee Investigation

The Senate Judiciary Committee cleared Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of all wrongdoing on Saturday, noting that they found “no verifiable evidence” to support sexual misconduct allegations levied against him during his confirmation hearing in September. 

Kavanaugh was confirmed into the Supreme Court in September despite facing sexual misconduct allegations by three women.

Kavanaugh’s main accuser, professor of psychology at Palo Alto University Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, accused the judge and his friend Mark Judge of sexually assaulting her and attempting to rape her at a high school party in the 1980s. 

These allegations led to a supplemental FBI investigation into the judge, which yielded no evidence of wrong doing on the judge’s part. 

The Senate Judiciary Committee also launched an investigation into the judge after he was confirmed to the supreme court which, according to a series of tweets posted on Saturday along with the committee’s official report, also yielded no evidence of wrongdoing. 

The Senate Judiciary Committee wrote on Twitter, “Committee investigators spoke with 45 individuals and took 25 written statements relating to the various allegations made in the course of the #SCOTUS confirmation process.”
