White House says not 'micromanaging' FBI probe of Kavanaugh

The FBI is free to investigate any sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that it deems credible, two White House spokeswomen said on Sunday, rebuffing suggestions the administration has tried to limit the probe.

"The White House is not micromanaging this process," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday."

"The Senate is dictating the terms," she said. "The FBI, this is what they do. And we're out of the way and letting them do exactly that."

Trump bowed to pressure from moderate Senate Republicans and ordered an FBI investigation after Christine Blasey Ford, a California university professor, detailed her claims at a Senate hearing on Thursday that Kavanaugh tried to rape her in 1982 when the two were still high school teenagers.

They set the scope of the background check process to not actually find anything. They can't talk to ford or swetnick, or anyone who can testify to the rapist drinking issues or drug use.

It isn't an investigation. It's just a stenographic excercise where they know what will be said.
