There's nothing in the FBI report on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that "we didn't already know," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Thursday, per CNN.

Senators are taking turns reviewing the report, which sought to investigate claims of sexual misconduct against the nominee. Federal investigators reportedly spoke with nine people with knowledge of the allegations against Kavanaugh, but not with Kavanaugh himself, nor with Christine Blasey Ford, who says Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. Kavanaugh has denied wrongdoing.
