(94,489 posts)29. UPDATE: Brett Kavanaugh reportedly accused of sexual misconduct in letter flagged to the FBI
Democrats on Thursday alerted the FBI to decades-old sexual misconduct allegations against President Trumps Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, according to reports and a person familiar with the matter.
The potentially damning claims, which come as the Senate prepares to vote on Kavanaughs nomination to the highest court of the land, were made in a letter obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein, a Democratic source told the Daily News.
Two officials briefed on the letters contents told the New York Times the allegations relate to possible sexual misconduct between Kavanaugh and an unidentified woman when they were both in high school.

If he was working for the federal government when it happened, it's a federal matter.

I don't see referring the matter to the FBI as protection for Kavanaugh in any meaningful way.

He lived in Md as a kid. Do they have a statute of limitations on criminal charges?
