Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) says the FBI’s investigation of Brett Kavanaugh‘s alleged sexual misconduct was half-baked and amounted to little more than a “cover-up.”

The White House has touted the results of the invention, saying that the FBI did not find any evidence to support the claims against President Trump‘s Supreme Court pick. When Markey spoke to CNN about this on Thursday, he was asked for his thoughts on how the FBI declined to interview Kavanaugh, Christine Blasey Ford, and others who were recommended for an investigative review

“It is obviously a cover-up,” Markey said. “The Trump White House working with the Republican leadership in the Senate have deliberately circumscribed this investigation so that only a small handful of people will be questioned…whether we’re talking about Debby Ramirez, we’re talking about James Roche, we’re talking about many other people that came forward to say they are willing to give information. The FBI, the White House, and the Senate leadership are just turning a deaf ear.”

Markey went on to say that the Trump Administration and congressional Republicans are “making a mockery of the constitutional responsibility of the Senate.”
