St. Thomas law prof, Kavanaugh classmate calls for probe into accusations

Three former classmates at Yale Law School, who previously endorsed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, are now calling for an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.

The Washington Post reports that Kent Sinclair, Douglas Rutzen and Mark Osler endorsed Kavanaugh in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee which was sent in August. Now they are calling for an investigation after two women accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in the 1980s.

Osler is a University of St. Thomas Law School professor. He spoke with MPR's Cathy Wurzer.
