In a letter sent to two Democratic senators, the agency said it received more than 4,500 tips on the then-judge in 2018, but only the “relevant” ones were sent to the Trump White House, and it’s not clear what happened after that. Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied allegations of sexual misconduct. Jan Wolfe, legal affairs correspondent for Reuters, joins CBSN AM to discuss. Source
