Harris Asked Nadler to Open Kavanaugh Impeachment Inquiry

Sen. Kamala Harris asked Rep. Jerry Nadler in a Sept. 17 letter to open a formal impeachment inquiry into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh following the New York Times's publication of new accusations that omitted exculpatory evidence.

Harris argued the sexual misconduct allegations made against Kavanaugh in a Sept. 14 New York Times book excerpt raised the possibility that he may have lied to the Senate during his confirmation hearing.

Harris reiterated her beliefs in an op-ed published in Elle magazine on Friday.

The Times story, adapted from a new book about Kavanaugh by two of the newspaper's reporters, alleged that a friend of Kavanaugh "Pushed" Kavanaugh's "Penis into the hand of a female student" at a college party.

The authors of the Times piece, Kate Kelly and Robin Pogrebin, also backpedaled their allegations in the week following the story's publication.

Kelly told Yahoo News on Sept. 20 that she was disappointed the story generated a "Rush to impeachment" from 2020 candidates such as Harris, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg.

His work has also appeared in the Wall Street Journal, First Things, and The New Criterion.
