U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) today issued the following statement after being briefed on and reviewing a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) supplemental background investigation file related to the nomination of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh: After careful consideration and having reviewed the facts presented, as well as the supplemental FBI file, I plan to vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh. Since President Trump announced his nomination, Ive been consistently impressed with Judge Kavanaughs commitment to upholding the Constitution as written; respecting the rule of law; and being a good husband, father, and public servant. Thats why I have been supportive of him throughout the confirmation process and why he continues to have my support. I also said from the beginning that Dr. Fords allegations should be taken seriously, as should any allegation of sexual assault, and I believe Chairman Grassley and his staff on the Judiciary Committee have investigated and addressed them fairly and transparently. This is not a decision I took lightly, but it is one I believe in strongly. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
