More than two dozen groups signed a letter to the House of Representatives urging an investigation into what they characterized as Justice Brett Kavanaugh's 'sham confirmation process.'
— Republicans said it cleared Kavanaugh, while Democrats argued that it was incomplete, noting that the FBI didn't interview key witnesses, including Ford and Kavanaugh.
"Senate Republicans made a mockery of their constitutional responsibility to provide 'advice and consent' on the president’s nomination of Justice Kavanaugh, and the American people deserve to know how and why the process was such a sham," the groups wrote in the letter to the House.
Thursday's letter also urges the House to seek access to records from Kavanaugh's tenure in the George W. Bush administration that Senate Republicans released through a contested vetting process run by an outside lawyer, William Burck, as opposed to the National Archives. The groups are also asking Congress to investigate personal financial debt that Kavanaugh had previously disclosed and that the White House said was due to the purchase of baseball tickets and home improvements.
The organizations that signed the letter include women's rights groups, environmental advocacy groups, Demand Justice — one of the groups that led the campaign against Kavanaugh's nomination — and Mason 4 Survivors, a group of students at George Mason University who arethe school's decision to hire Kavanaugh to teach at the university's Antonin Scalia Law School.
Kavanaugh, a former judge on the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, faced dozens of judicial misconduct complaints during and after his confirmation process — some were related to the sexual assault allegations, some accused him of lying about his time in the Bush administration, and some claimed he showed partisan bias in his testimony before the Senate in September.
