Another thing we learned is that Kavanaugh is a glutton for punishment, and not just because he just sat through his third confirmation hearing:pic.twitter.com/qucF0RGeo0
In judiciary committee meeting, senators mainly squabbling about procedure
Sen Feinstein wants committee to subpoena National Archives records relating to Kavanaugh's time as staff secretary in the Bush White House
Feinstein's motion fails
Republicans prevail on vote to set time to vote on Kavanaugh (1:45pm on Sept 20)
In another development, Feinstein says she has received "information from an individual" relating to Kavanaugh and has referred it to federal investigative authorities. No further info
Feinstein's statement, which appears to be in response to a couple of media reports, says the person wants to be anonymous and "declined to come forward or press the matter further"
In response, White House points out that the FBI has vetted Kavanaugh on multiple occasions and questions why this hasn't come out earlier
In July, more than 100 of Kavanaugh's high school classmates & fellow alumni of Georgetown Prep, which is a boys-only school in Maryland, signed this letter supporting the nomination. https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-07-09%20155%20Georgetown%20Prep%20Classmates%20to%20McConnell,%20Schumer,%20Grassley,%20Feinstein%20-%20Kavanaugh%20Nomination.pdf …
FBI has confirmed receipt of the letter mentioned by Feinstein, saying it has been added to "Judge Kavanaugh's background file, as per the standard process."
"The standard process" as I understand it is that the information would be passed onto whoever ordered the background check, which in this instance is the White House
FBI has no current criminal investigation, adds source familiar with the vetting process
