The White House says it’s “confident” Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed by the Senate.
The FBI has finished its 7thinvestigation into Kavanaugh and its report is now available to lawmakers.
White House spokesman Raj Shah tweeted early Thursday, “The White House is fully confident the Senate will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court."
In a series of tweets Shah said:
The White House has received the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s supplemental background investigation into Judge Kavanaugh, and it is being transmitted to the Senate.
With Leader McConnell’s cloture filing, Senators have been given ample time to review this seventh background investigation. This is the last addition to the most comprehensive review of a Supreme Court nominee in history, which includes extensive hearings, multiple committee interviews, over 1,200 questions for the record and over a half million pages of documents. With this additional information, the White House is fully confident the Senate will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
President Donald Trump tweeted on the issue on Thursday as well. “This is a very important time in our country. Due Process, Fairness and Common Sense are now on trial!” he tweeted.
