At 3 00 a. M. On the u. S. East coast, we are learning more about the list of witnesses to be interviewed by the fbi in the probe of Brett Kavanaugh. Apparently neither judge kavanaugh nor his accuser Christine Blasey ford are on that list. The president continues to insist, though, the fbi has free reign to speak to whomever they choose while conducting this oneweek limited probe.
