FBI May Not Interview Ford or Kavanaugh

September 30, 2018 at 10:01 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford may not be interviewed in the FBI’s week-long probe into the allegations of sexual misconduct against the Supreme Court nominee, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Ford claims that she has not been contacted by the FBI since the week-long ceasefire was announced, suggesting that she and Kavanaugh may fall outside the scope of the probe.
