Brett Kavanaugh Faces More Smears and Intimidation Attempts

On Thursday, the New York Times published a report on the three-year-old battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court that attempts to cast a new cloud of suspicion over Justice Kavanaugh.

The Times’ Kate Kelly reported that, in a letter to Democratic senators dated June 30, 2021, the FBI said that it had received 4,500 tips on a tip-line set up during a supplemental background investigation of Kavanaugh, and that the most “relevant” of the tips were referred to the Office of White House Counsel, the entity that had requested the supplemental background investigation.
