Coons said. He came away with the impression that fbi agents would not interview additional people beyond the witnesses that were actually listed by the white house. He said he told mcgahn thats not kredsabcredible. The reporting is the white house isnt limiting the investigation. Meaning that fbi agents can and will find out that multiple people who knew Brett Kavanaugh say he wasnt truthful in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary committee. I mentioned another one has come forward. Kavanaughs former yale classmate says kavanaugh was staggering drunk and belligerent and aggressive. He made a statement a short time ago. Here is part of what he said. I do not believe in heavy drinking or behavior of an 18 to 21yearold. I would be a hypocrite to think so. However, i have direct repeated knowledge about bretts drinking, his disposition while drunk. I believe bretts actions as a 53yearold federal judge matter. If he lied about his past actions on National Television and more especially wh
Good evening. Thanks for joining us. Another person has come forward and said that judge Brett Kavanaugh wasnt telling the truth when he last testified about his drinking habits. The backdrop is the clock thats ticking down on whether kavanaugh will be on the Supreme Court for life. Theres been questions to the extent of the investigation thats going on.

The fbi doesnt usually do that. They dont usually release their interview notes from talking to people as part of an investigation. So this was a strange thing to do at any time, let alone at the height of the political campaign. But they did. And the fbi put out a statement at the time explaining why they were doing this very unusual thing. They said it was, quote, in the interest of transparency. And in response to numerous freedom of information act requests. Hey, you know, there was a lot of interest. People really wanted to know. We, the fbi, we felt pressured to do this very unusual thing, because the public desires to see us do it. And so, i guess well do it, even though its kind of weird. If you really want us to, we will. The fbi does have their typical by the book way of doing things. But its a
