Kavanaugh withdraws from teaching course on Supreme Court at Harvard Law School

-

President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee will not be returning to Harvard this winter to teach his law school course.


The Ivy League school sent an email to students Monday, saying Brett Kavanaugh indicated he cannot commit to teaching his class titled “The Supreme Court Since 2005.”

This comes shortly after Kavanaugh expressed worry this would be the outcome during his opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.


“In a letter to this committee my former students, male and female alike, wrote that I displayed a character that impressed us all. I love teaching law, but thanks to what some of you on this side of the  committee have unleashed I may never be able to teach again.” — Brett Kavanaugh 


As of January, Harvard Law School will no longer offer the course, which Kavanaugh taught since 2008.


As a professor his teachings focused on recent Supreme Court rulings on major issues, including war powers, marriage, federalism and separation of powers.

President Trump has said he wants the FBI to conduct a "very comprehensive investigation" into sexual assault allegations against his Supreme Court nominee - but not a "witch hunt". US media reports earlier suggested the White House wanted to restrict the inquiry into Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Mr Trump said he had requested that the FBI be given free rein, but added: "I'd like it to go quickly." Judge Kavanaugh's friend Mark Judge has been interviewed by agents. A lawyer for Mr Judge - a childhood friend of Mr Kavanaugh - said on Monday that his client's interview "has not been completed". Mr Judge's testimony is considered key to the investigation, as Professor Christine Blasey Ford says he was in the room when Brett Kavanaugh allegedly assaulted her at a house in 1982.
