1. FBI expands interview list for Kavanaugh probe

The FBI is contacting a growing list of people to interview in its investigation of sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, The Washington Post reported late Saturday. Among the forthcoming interviewees is Deborah Ramirez, Kavanaugh's second accuser and former Yale classmate. "She has agreed to cooperate with their investigation," said Ramirez's attorney. "Out of respect for the integrity of the process, we will have no further comment at this time." The Senate Judiciary Committee has also referred the FBI to another, as yet unidentified person who alleged assault by Kavanaugh only to "recant" and apologize online.
