"[Brett] Kavanaugh was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 6, 2018, on a vote of 50-48. New evidence released last week suggests that the razor-close vote was unduly influenced by a sham supplemental FBI investigation that was tightly controlled by the Trump White House."

Legum reports that the Trump White House strictly controlled which witnesses the FBI was authorized to interview and which leads the FBI could follow.
It specified the name of each witness the FBI was permitted to contact as part of its supplemental background investigation and, in some instances, specified lines of questioning.

The FBI was not permitted by the Trump White House to interview those who came forward with information confirming the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez about Kavanaugh's sexual assaults on them.
The FBI forwarded the tips it collected from its tip line to the Trump White House, without any investigating them.

"The Trump Administration repeatedly thwarted Senate investigators’ subsequent attempts to get to the bottom of how the supplemental background investigation was conducted."

"Brett Kavanaugh is a blight on the Supreme Court. His inclusion among the nine Justices diminishes the entire institution, makes a mockery of judicial impartiality, and is a metaphorical middle finger to every woman in the United States."
