Oct 04 2018
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement regarding Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to serve on the Supreme Court:
“The FBI’s seventh background check into Judge Kavanaugh found nothing new. I read the FBI report and there is no corroboration of the allegations made against him and no findings of misconduct. I appreciate the leadership of Chairman Grassley to ensure a thorough and fair review of these serious allegations, and trust that the career professionals at the FBI have conducted a non-partisan assessment. At the end of the day—after multiple background checks, five days of Judiciary Committee hearings and a supplemental FBI investigation—the allegations raised against Brett Kavanaugh remain uncorroborated. After 12 years serving on the D.C. Circuit Court, he has been praised for his temperament, fairness and impartiality. It’s time for the Senate to vote on his nomination. I will support Judge Kavanaugh, a well-respected and well-qualified jurist, to serve as Associate Justice on the United States Supreme Court.”
