New allegations against Brett Kavanaugh mean Congress must finish what the FBI started

In the run-up to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, the FBI was tasked with conducting a thorough background investigation. Specifically, they were supposed to look into the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against Kavanaugh. After the investigation was completed, several Republican lawmakers used it as the basis for their decision to vote to confirm Kavanaugh, including the previously undecided Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, implied that the report exonerated Kavanaugh completely. But now, a new book suggests the probe may have been less than thorough.
