As the <\/span>FBI<\/span> <\/span>presses forward with a limited investigation into allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a group of alumni from his all-male high school Georgetown Prep are calling for graduates to come forward if they have information about sexual assaults committed by their former classmate. In 2015, Kavanaugh told an audience at Catholic University\u2019s Columbus School of Law that \u201cWhat happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep.\u201d But the petition implores graduates of the elite prep school, \u201cPlease do not remain silent, even if speaking out comes at some personal cost.\u201d We speak with Bill Barbot, who was a freshman at Georgetown Prep when Brett Kavanaugh was a senior. Barbot co-authored a petition calling on fellow graduates to come forward if they have information about any sexual assaults possibly committed by the Supreme Court nominee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

JUAN<\/span> <\/span>GONZ\u00c1LEZ:<\/strong> <\/span>The White House has authorized the <\/span>FBI<\/span> <\/span>to partially expand its investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but the agency is still being forced to wrap up its probe this week. The focus of the investigation is on allegations made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford that Kavanaugh attempted to rape her in 1982. But the <\/span>FBI<\/span> <\/span>has also reached out to Deborah Ramirez, a former classmate of Kavanaugh\u2019s at Yale who says he thrust his genitals into her face during a party. While the <\/span>FBI<\/span> <\/span>has talked to Ramirez, <\/span>NBC<\/span> <\/span>News reports agents have not followed up on claims by their mutual friends that Kavanaugh asked them to go on the record in his defense prior to the publication of an <\/span>article<\/a> <\/span>in <\/span>The New Yorker<\/em> <\/span>outlining her allegations. Former Yale classmate Kerry Berchem says she tried to give the <\/span>FBI<\/span> <\/span>text messages proving that Kavanaugh and\/or his friends, quote, \u201cmay have initiated an anticipatory narrative\u201d as early as July in order to, quote, \u201cconceal or discredit\u201d Ramirez.<\/p>\n
