LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada's Republican governor says the U.S. Senate should not cast a final vote on the U.S. Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh without a full review of the allegations of sexual misconduct that have been made against the nominee.
Gov. Brian Sandoval said in a statement on Thursday that he believes "the witnesses and the nominee should have the full opportunity to be heard and testimony and documents to be reviewed prior to any final decision."
Sandoval's office declined to clarify if he was calling for an FBI investigation and whether he believes senators need to hear additional testimony from witnesses related to the allegations from Christine Blasey Ford or from other women who have gone public with allegations against Kavanaugh.
Sandoval's office said he had not spoken with Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller about the issue.
