WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement after additional allegations against Judge Kavanaugh were made public.

“These new allegations are deeply concerning and reinforce the need for the FBI to investigate claims against Judge Kavanaugh. Everyone - the accusers, Judge Kavanaugh, and the American people - would benefit from a professional, impartial, federal investigation,” said Senator Coons.  “I agree with Ranking Member Feinstein’s call for an immediate postponement of this week’s hearing and investigations into these claims.”
