Trump Insists He Hasn’t Limited FBI Investigation

President Trump ripped NBC News after a report that the White House was limiting the scope of the FBI’s investigation into sexual assault allegations leveled against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Said Trump: “NBC News incorrectly reported (as usual) that I was limiting the FBI investigation of Judge Kavanaugh, and witnesses, only to certain people. Actually, I want them to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion. Please correct your reporting!”

But the New York Times reports “the emerging contours of the inquiry showed its limited scope.”

“Four witnesses will be questioned in coming days about aspects of the assault accusations against Judge Kavanaugh, according to two people familiar with the matter. Left off the list were former classmates who have contradicted Judge Kavanaugh’s congressional testimony about his drinking and partying as a student.”
