Velshi - ‘Obscene’: New report details Trump’s protection of Kavanaugh from sex assault probe
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse released a bombshell report this week accusing the Trump White House of thwarting an FBI probe into sexual assault allegations made against Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his 2018 nomination process. The latest scandal adds to a growing list of controversies amid polls showing that public faith in the nation’s highest court continues to plummet. Meanwhile calls for Supreme Court reforms are intensifying, including President Joe Biden's recent proposals for 18-year term limits for justices and a binding code of ethics. “Every official in this country– local, county, state, other federal– everybody is subject to basic fact-finding if there’s an allegation made about their misconduct.” says Sen. Whitehouse, who released the damning report this week. “There are only nine people in government, anywhere, who have literally no responsibility to either tell the truth about what they did, or have neutral fact-finding about what they did– and that is the nine justices of the Supreme Court.”
