With so many women coming forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that may or may not be true, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, wants to make sure what's in store for those who make blatantly false allegations.
A man claiming that he knew a woman who was raped aboard a boat in 1985 by Kavanaugh and later retracted the allegation has been referred to the FBI to determine if his false charge obstructed the committee's deliberations.
CNN:. "Such acts are not only unfair; they are potentially illegal," committee Chairman Chuck Grassley wrote in a letter Saturday to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Chris Wray.
Grassley wants the FBI and DOJ to investigate whether the individual potentially obstructed the committee's nomination process of Kavanaugh by providing fraudulent information to committee investigators.
The office of Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat who sits on the Judiciary Committee, received a call on Monday concerning an allegation - now found to be false - of a 1985 incident in Newport where a woman was sexually assaulted on a boat by two heavily inebriated men she referred to as "Brett and Mark.".
Kavanaugh was interviewed by the committee on Tuesday about the allegation and categorically denied the claim.
I think it's probable that committees of congress get these sort of bizarre, false allegations against every nominee for a government position.
