President Donald Trump announced late Saturday that the White House had placed no limitation on the FBI's ability to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct made against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

"I want them to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion," Trump tweeted in response to an NBC News report citing multiple people familiar with the process who said the White House was limiting the scope of the reopened background investigation of Kavanaugh.

While the FBI will examine the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, the bureau had not been permitted to investigate the claims of Julie Swetnick, who has accused Kavanaugh of engaging in sexual misconduct at parties while he was a student at Georgetown Preparatory School in the 1980s, those people familiar with the investigation told NBC News.

A White House official had confirmed earlier Saturday that Swetnick's claims would not be pursued as part of the reopened background investigation into Kavanaugh. Trump described that as incorrect in a tweet late Saturday. The Wall Street Journal had also reported that Swetnick's allegations would not be investigated.

3. The way it has been described - this was extensively heinous

And egregious.

He did it brute force, conspiring to drug, teaming up to be forceful.

Who were the parents of this tool.

2. Well then, you do what trump and the CON squad are trying to do.

Appeal to public opinion and try to do perception management. You put her on TV. ALL OVER TV. ALL WEEK. C’mon Avenatti. Do it.

We DO need to hear from her - and anybody else who comes forward. AND from Mark Judge’s ex-girlfriend - the one who’s already on record saying she couldn’t sit by “and watch him lie.”

4. And, from Mark Kudge
