In a statement released by Grassley’s committee office Saturday night, Grassley sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Chris Wray requesting a criminal review of a person who gave information to Congress “diverting Committee resources from an ongoing investigation.”
“One tip was referred to the committee by staff for Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I). While Whitehouse referred the accuser to a reporter, the committee took the claim seriously and questioned Judge Kavanaugh about the allegations under penalty of felony,” Grassley’s office stated.
Kavanaugh denied the accusation during his testimony before the committee last Thursday.
Grassley also intends to have Feinstein's staff investigated by the FBI for leaking the Ford letter, as well as Ford's attorney's for their failure to notify Miss Ford about the Committee's offer to fly to her home.
