Key Republican senators have called the White House over the past 24 hours to make clear that they expect a fulsome investigation as the FBI reviews allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, CNN has learned.
The White House has instructed the FBI to interview anyone it considers necessary in its background investigation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh - so long as the review is done by the end of the week.
Kavanaugh's fate is largely dependent on a small number of Republicans who have said they want to see what a limited FBI investigation yields. "I guess I want to say, 'Thank you, '" Walsh said. On Monday, President Donald Trump said he wants it to be done "quickly", but that it should also be "comprehensive. whatever that means, according to the senators and the Republicans and the Republican majority". "It has been from the beginning, and we're letting the Senate continue to dictate what the terms look like", Ms Sanders said.

Flake said Sunday that if the FBI's investigation into the allegations against Kavanaugh found that he lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, his nomination would not likely move forward.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the committee, agreed.
Jenna Clemenzi, a 20-year-old senior at Simmons College, told the Herald that Kavanaugh's anger and outbursts during his hearing are enough in themselves to keep him off the high court.
But with Republican leadership eager to place another conservative on the Supreme Court, it would be extremely unlikely that they would cooperate with a further delay of confirmation.
FBI investigators had not reached out to a third woman who said she witnessed Kavanaugh engage in "inappropriate contact of a sexual nature with women in the early 1980s", her attorney, Michael Avenatti, wrote on Twitter early Sunday morning.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, declined on Monday afternoon to provide more detail on what the FBI's investigation can cover. He said the "goal" of Mitchell's hiring was to "de-politicize the process and get to the truth, instead of grandstanding and giving senators an opportunity to launch their presidential campaigns".
"We have to be serene with the idea that if there's a thorough but expeditious investigation, that that in itself is a good thing", Sen. Trump did not elaborate.In a statement to media, Chad Ludington, a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh, said the judge was not truthful about his drinking during his Senate testimony last week and that at Yale, Kavanaugh was "a frequent drinker and a heavy drinker" who often got belligerent and aggressive when drunk.
