Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley says he hasn’t talked to the FBI directly about when the White House will receive the investigation report, but he defended the report's scope and confidential access.
When asked when the report would be released, Grassley replied, “All I can tell you, I have not talked to the FBI. I have not talked to the White House. We had some indication at the Republican meeting it would be sometime this afternoon. That’s all I know."
He also defended the FBI not interviewing Brett Kavanaugh or Christine Blasey Ford, saying, “The FBI knows everything from six other interviews... It seems to me the only reason the FBI would be able to do anything else is if they read that entire record and there was something unanswered.”
On Wednesday, Ford's attorneys sent Grassley a letter saying Ford was prepared to hand over relevant documents, but that "we have not yet heard from the FBI about scheduling an interview with her."
Grassley also defended the decision to keep the report private, saying, “I’ve been reading FBI reports for 38 years, and none of them have ever been made public.”
On Tuesday, Democratic Sens. Chris Coons and Dianne Feinstein suggested the findings should be kept private, while Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn called for a public release. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has since announced that the report would not be made publicly available.
