The House Judiciary Committee was too busy “impeaching the president” to immediately probe sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said Monday.

“We have our hands full with impeaching the president right now and that’s going to take up our limited resources and time for a while,” Nadler said on WNYC.

The Manhattan lawmaker spoke as some Senate Democrats and presidential candidates called for Kavanaugh’s head after a New York Times story reported a new allegation of sexual misconduct from the future justice’s time at Yale University.

Nadler said he’ll move to investigate Kavanaugh next month, when FBI Director Christopher Wray appears at another hearing that will now focus on Kavanaugh’s past and whether the feds’ initial probe into the allegations was thorough.

“These deeds that he allegedly did years ago would be very relevant to a senator voting for or against his nomination,” Nadler said, Politico reported.

The new report said witnesses saw a drunken Kavanaugh expose himself to a woman at a party. The woman later said she didn’t recall the incident, and the Times issued a correction to the story, which had omitted that fact.

Nadler also said it was important that Trump be impeached to deter wrongdoing by future presidents.

“In my personal opinion, impeachment is imperative not because he’s going to be removed from office — the Senate won’t do that — but because we have to vindicate the Constitution,” he said.

“We have to show that the kind of self-dealing enrichment that this president is engaged in … that the kind of public corruption he’s been involved in, that the kind of obstruction of justice that the Mueller report documented — five instances of which met all the requirements for an indictment and the president would have been indicted for those five instances had the Justice Department not had a policy of not indicting presidents no matter what — we have to show that this kind of behavior … cannot be normalized.”

Nadler’s view of impeachment contrasts with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s relative reluctance to emphasize it.

Pelosi has repeatedly said that impeachment efforts should be based on facts, not politics.

Nadler acknowledged that some of his colleagues are reluctant to use the words “impeachment inquiry” or “impeachment investigation” to describe what the House was doing.

“The term impeachment investigation, the term impeachment inquiry have no legal meaning. Shorthand for an investigation into determining whether to recommend articles of impeachment. That’s what we’re doing and we’re doing it officially.”

“I have said this in very certain terms as many times as I can as definitely as I can now. Other people have, for various reasons, have been more reluctant — been reluctant to use the term impeachment inquiry or impeachment investigation,” he said. “But as I’ve said, those terms have no official meaning.”

Pelosi’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
