Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has just issued a statement saying the White House has “confirmed” it is blocking the FBI from interviewing both Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member adds that without those interviews, the FBI’s report will not be credible.
“The White House confirmation that it will not allow the FBI to interview Dr. Blasey Ford, Judge Kavanaugh or witnesses identified by Deborah Ramirez raises serious questions that this is not a credible investigation and begs the question: What other restrictions has the White House placed on the FBI?” Feinstein said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
The FBI is expected to announce it has completed its investigation at any time – some news reports had predicted Wednesday morning.
NBC News Kelly O’Donnell posted Feinstein’s statement to Twitter, which is titled, “Investigation Not Credible Without Ford, Kavanaugh Interviews.”
