Nearly 50 Yale Law faculty members call for FBI to probe allegation against Kavanaugh

Nearly 50 members of the Yale Law School faculty are calling for the FBI to investigate sexual assault accusations brought against President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The faculty made the request in the form of an open letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday, writing that "allegations of sexual assault require a neutral factfinder and an investigation that can ascertain facts fairly."

"As the Senate Judiciary Committee debates Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, we write as faculty members of Yale Law School, from which Judge Kavanaugh graduated, to urge that the Senate conduct a fair and deliberate confirmation process," reads the letter, which was signed by 49 faculty members. "With so much at stake for the Supreme Court and the nation, we are concerned about a rush to judgment that threatens both the integrity of the process and the public’s confidence in the Court."

The letter adds that the FBI must have "adequate time to investigate facts" and concludes by saying that the Supreme Court confirmation process "must always be conducted, and appointments made, in a manner that gives Americans reason to trust" the court.
