President Trump on Friday ordered the FBI to conduct a "supplemental" background investigation into the allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but wants it completed within a week. “I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file," Trump said in a statement. The committee vote came a day after an angry and emotional hearing on allegations of sexual assault made against Kavanaugh. Democrats pushed back, asking Kavanaugh why he would not himself urge an FBI investigation into the charges against him. Kavanaugh responded that he would assent to whatever the committee decided, but noted that an FBI probe wouldn’t draw conclusions, only gather information.
