Sen. Dianne Feinstein has sent a letter to the White House calling for the release of the directive related to the scope of the FBI’s probe of Brett Kavanaugh.

In the letter addressed to White House counsel Don McGahn and FBI Director Christopher Wray and dated September 30, Feinstein wrote: “Given the seriousness of the allegations before the Senate, I am writing to request that you provide the Senate Judiciary Committee with a copy of the written directive by the White House to the FBI.”

She also asked for the names of additional witnesses if the probe is expanded.

On Friday, the White House ordered the FBI to conduct a time-limited investigation into the allegations of sexual assault made against Kavanaugh.

However, on Saturday reports surfaced that the White House was limiting the scope of the probe.

Trump has responded to both the media reports limiting the scope and the Democrats concerns about scope of the probe via Twitter.

“NBC News incorrectly reported (as usual) that I was limiting the FBI investigation of Judge Kavanaugh, and witnesses, only to certain people,” Trump wrote on Saturday. “Actually, I want them to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion. Please correct your reporting!”

Then, earlier today, before Feinstein’s letter was released to the media, Trump wrote this:

“Wow! Just starting to hear the Democrats, who are only thinking Obstruct and Delay, are starting to put out the word that the “time” and “scope” of FBI looking into Judge Kavanaugh and witnesses is not enough. Hello! For them, it will never be enough – stay tuned and watch!”
