Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said the comments made by the attorney who represented Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser could prompt a probe into the lawyer.

“I think it’s worth just checking off the facts. We had a number of people on the other side of the aisle undermining the credibility of the [Senate Judiciary] committee by threatening to expose information that was committee confidential,” Tillis said during an appearance on Fox News on Sept. 5.
