Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley has stated that the FBI had found "no hint of misconduct" in its background investigation into claims of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The US president has reacted to the probe in a tweet.
This is now the 7th. time the FBI has investigated Judge Kavanaugh. If we made it 100, it would still not be good enough for the Obstructionist Democrats.
