"I think I'm satisfied," Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island told "Good Morning America" ​​boss George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday. "We do not know all the details yet, but, clearly, if they have been given free rein to interview whoever they want, that's a very good sign."



"The last thing we want is a false investigation," said Whitehouse, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, adding that the FBI "probably should be able to do it before Friday."

In the last 24 hours, in response to pressure from Democratic and moderate Republican senators, the White House has eased the limitations of the FBI background check at Kavanaugh that Trump launched Friday.



After Christine Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, the Senate Judiciary Committee held an emotionally charged marathon last Thursday to evaluate the testimony of Ford and Kavanaugh over his accusation that he attacked her when they were in high school.



Kavanaugh fiercely denied the accusation but with the fate of his nomination on the line, Whitehouse told "GMA" on Tuesday he has "serious doubts" about whether the judge told the truth during his testimony.



"I have very serious doubts at the moment, but that's one of the reasons we wanted so much research, to get to the truth instead of having to deal with assumptions or suspicions," Whitehouse said.



"Ultimately, I think that when someone comes before the United States Senate and wants to be a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, they must tell the truth, if they lie, that is something that disqualifies them."



When asked if he thought Kavanaugh had lied to the committee, Whitehouse realized the answer and replied: "I'm waiting to see what the FBI report comes back in. I certainly would not rule it out." There are many things I can not believe in. He said, but, once again, it is very difficult to resolve this until you have the investigation, so we did everything possible to make sure it was carried out. "



The White House, at the behest of the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Senator Jeff Flake, a Republican from Arizona, ordered the FBI to investigate what the committee considered "credible" allegations of sexual misconduct.

But Trump continued his strong defense of his Supreme Court selection on Monday, and called for a "thorough" but "swift" FBI investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct while the agency works to meet an impending deadline.



After Ford showed up, another accusation surfaced from Deborah Ramirez, who knew Kavanaugh at Yale University, and accused him of sexual misconduct in a separate incident during his freshman year. He has denied it.



The White House specifically requested FBI interviews with Ramírez, among three others. The FBI has been authorized to interview anyone, with a focus on two complaints of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh raised separately by Ford and Ramirez, sources close to the process say.



The investigation comes shortly after Kavanaugh faced tough questions from the Judiciary Committee, including Whitehouse, a key member who opposes his nomination to the highest court.



The committee voted on Friday to send Kavanaugh's nomination to the entire Senate, along party lines, with the support of each Republican member on the committee. But Flake said his support included a warning: he would not vote "yes" in the Senate unless an FBI investigation was reopened.



Whitehouse expressed concern at Thursday's hearing about Kavanaugh's high school years, asking a series of questions about the meaning of several phrases written in his high school yearbook, such as "The Devil's Triangle."

Addressing concerns that such questions focused on "trivial" issues, or that because the accusations are decades old, Kavanaugh's memory may not be accurate, Whitehouse, a former US attorney. UU And Rhode Island's attorney general, he told "GMA" on Tuesday: things are trivial and it's a bit less, you know, wrong, if you want, if you're facing a case of perjury, you need the lie to be material. The same goes for a fake case, such small little mistakes, no. I do not think that's the problem. "



"But if he's lying about something meaningful, in a way that would clearly be aware that he was lying when he testified to us," Whitehouse added, "that's very serious."



Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday denounced what he said were the Democrats' delay tactics to undermine Kavanaugh's confirmation, before stating that the Senate will vote for his nomination this week.



"Your goal post keeps changing," said a defiant McConnell on the Senate Democrats. "And, then, let me make it very clear, the timing of the endless delay and obstruction has come to an end, Judge Kavanaugh's nomination is out of committee, we are considering it here on the floor and, Mr. President, we will be voting this week ".



It is not clear if McConnell will have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh if the FBI investigation into the allegations was not completed before that date.
