Sen. Orrin Hatch has requested that the FBI make it known immediately if any witness in its one-week investigation into sexual misconduct allegations leveled against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is uncooperative.
His fear is that these witnesses or people advising them will delay, stretching out when the Senate may get to a final vote in this highly charged confirmation process.
Hatch, a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made his request in a letter sent Saturday to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
The Republican senator from Utah wrote that Christine Blasey Ford — the woman who says Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her during a party they attended in high school — as well as others who attended the gathering have agreed to cooperate with the investigation.
