Court of Appeal declares that complaints about Kavanaugh do not concern the conduct of a judge

The judge's way to confirmation was tumultuous. In September, a California professor, Christine Blasey Ford, accused her of committing sexual assault more than thirty years ago. She said that he had sexually assaulted her while they were at a party during their high school years. Kavanaugh denied the allegation.

The two men appeared before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate last month to testify about the alleged incident. The hearing then culminated in an agreement between Republicans asking President Donald Trump to hold an FBI investigation into the allegations.

Trump has asked the FBI to conduct a background investigation of a supplement, which has ended this week. Republicans said the results did not support the allegation that Kavanaugh attacked Ford. However, the contentious bid process and related hearings divided the country.

On Friday, senators announced their intention to vote, revealing that the Republicans had almost certainly obtained confirmation.

Under the judicial rules applicable to misconduct complaints, the Chief Circuit Judge generally manages the initial review. The chief justice in this case is Judge Merrick Garland, who was appointed to the US Supreme Court by President Barack Obama, but has never been confirmed by the Senate to Republicans.

Although the complaint statement was issued by Henderson, Henderson does not explicitly state whether Garland has withdrawn from the complaint process.
