NBC's Ken Dilanian reported on Sunday that the White House had tied the hands of FBI officials investigating Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh even though White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders has insisted that FBI probe is not being micromanaged by the Trump administration.
NBC News White House Correspondent Geoff Bennett first revealed Dilanian's reporting during an appearance on MSNBC.
Bennett explained that the White House had instructed the FBI not to investigate the accusations made by Julie Swetnick against Supre Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
"Two high level sources familiar with the matter tell our friend and colleague Ken Dilanian that the FBI has received no new instructions from the White House about how to proceed with this new investigation of sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh," Bennett reported.
"And these sources say that President Trump's Saturday night tweets, saying he wants the FBI to interview whomever agents deem appropriate, has not changed the limits imposed by the White House counsel's office on the FBI investigation," Bennett continued. "Which as we've reported includes a specific witness list that does not include the third accuser, Julie Swetnick."
