"Clearly, more investigation needs to be done," Cummings told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons. "I don't want us to move so that we're distracted from what Dr. [Christine Blasey] Ford said. They're spending so much time talking about process that they're still seeming to get away from that, even the judge did the same thing."

"It would be nice to see the judge, that is Judge Kavanaugh, take a lie detector test. Dr. Ford did it, he should do it," he continued.

Kavanaugh's confirmation process was has been upended following accusations by three women of sexual misconduct.

He forcefully denied sexual assault allegations against him during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, speaking after Ford, the first of his accusers, delivered gripping testimony before the panel describing her allegations.

Cummings first questioned whether Kavanaugh would take a lie detector test last month before he and Ford testified.

"Dr. Ford passed a lie detector test and asked for an FBI investigation," Cummings tweeted. "Will Judge Kavanaugh do the same?"
