A new report details how the Trump White House secretly killed an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegations against thenā€“Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The White House underĀ sexual abuser Donald Trump secretly worked to suppress an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh while his Supreme Court nomination was under consideration by the Senate.

In September 2018, when Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault, Trump promised that the FBI would have ā€œfree reinā€ to fully investigate the claims, adding that the bureau was ā€œtalking to everybody.ā€

ā€œI want them to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion,ā€ Trump posted on Twitter at the time. However,Ā The Washington PostĀ reported Tuesday that Trumpā€™s assertions were all a farce, citing a new report by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Whitehouseā€™s report states that the FBI was directed to conduct a limited investigation in only a week, and requested ā€œadditional guidanceā€ from the White House. But Trump administration officials never provided any authorization for a deeper probe into the allegations against Kavanaugh.

    Then why didnā€™t the FBI hold a press conference and disclose this to the public? Make it known what the President was doing?
