The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee referred a Rhode Island man for criminal investigation for allegedly making false statements to the committee regarding Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
In a Sept. 29 letter to the heads of the FBI and the Justice Department, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) wrote that the man, Jeffrey Catalan, accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct while on a boat in Rhode Island in August 1985. Catalan later recanted and apologized for his allegation on Twitter. The Epoch Times refrains from publishing the details of the allegation since the accuser has recanted.
