Woman who claimed Kavanaugh raped her referred for investigation

 

A woman who claimed to be the author of a letter accusing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of rape may face a federal investigation of her own. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, referred a woman who had claimed to have written an anonymous letter sent to Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., for allegedly false statements she made to the Senate Judiciary Committee during the investigation of allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.

 

n a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Grassley said that Munro-Leighton contacted the committee via email on Oct. 3 and said she was the author of the handwritten Sept. 19 letter signed by Jane Doe of Oceanside, Calif., which detailed an encounter in which Kavanaugh and a friend allegedly sexually assaulted the writer.

 

When asked in late September about the letter's allegations in an interview conducted under penalty of felony, Kavanaugh said, "[T]he whole thing is just a crock, farce, wrong, didn’t happen, not anything close."

 

Committee investigators first tried to contact her during the confirmation hearings, and finally succeeded Thursday. Munro-Leighton, who does not live in California and is much older than Kavanaugh, told staff she was not the author of the letter and had contacted the committee as a ploy, Grassley said in his letter referring Munro-Leighton for investigation. "The Committee is grateful to citizens who come forward with relevant information in good faith, even if they are not one hundred percent sure about what they know," said Grassley in the letter. "But when individuals intentionally mislead the Committee, they divert Committee resources during time-sensitive investigations and materially impede our work. Such acts are not only unfair; they are potentially illegal."

Supreme Court denies Trump's attempt to block children's climate lawsuit

 

The Supreme Court is denying the Trump administration's request to block a climate change lawsuit brought against the government by a group of 21 children. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a 3-page decision Friday night in Juliana v. United States allowing the case to move forward. Roberts had stopped the case from having its day in court on Oct. 29, while the high court reviewed the children's legal arguments.

 

The high court's order said the administration should now turn to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals for relief from the litigation. The children's lawsuit blames the federal government for causing the threat of global warming to grow, threatening the livelihoods of future generations. Our Children’s Trust, representing the group of kids, is not seeking monetary damages for past inaction by the government on climate change. Rather, it aims to compel the federal government to take future policy action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.

New York Democrat to Schumer: 'Today's Democratic Party does not deserve our support

 

A New York Democrat is pushing back at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, saying the beliefs of today's party are not in line with his. State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who has represented part of Brooklyn since 1983, filmed a two-minute video portraying how Schumer, a top Empire State lawmaker, has asked for him to support the party on many occasions. The video shows Hikind walking up to his home in Brooklyn and finding a letter by the front door. He opens the envelope to find a note from Schumer, asking for his support on a certain issue.

 

Over and over again, Hikind walks up to his front door at different times of the day to find a letter from Schumer. He shrugs off each request but is visibly bothered by having been asked again. In the final scene, Hikind and his wife are in the dining room table when she shows him a letter from Schumer that has been addressed to him. He opens the envelope and inside a list of requests fly out into the air, courtesy of video editing effects. "Stand with Farrakhan," "elevate Keith Ellison," "espouse socialism," "promote Linda Sarsour," and "back the racist BDS" all fly out of the envelope, representing progressive people or ideals that Schumer wants lawmakers in his state to help promote.

 

The movie concludes with “Dear Sen. Schumer, today’s Democratic Party does not deserve our support.”

 

In a post to Twitter on Thursday, Hikind wrote, "Dear Senator @chuckschumer, I received your request(s). Our party has lost its way. The answer is NO!"

 

Hikind's seat, along with the other 149 in the New York State Assembly, is up for election next week. Hikind announced earlier this year he is retiring. Democrat Simcha Eichenstein is running unopposed to replace him.
