WASHINGTON _ Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office has received threats of bodily and sexual harm against staff _ some naming specific employees _ following her involvement in allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Feinstein is the second woman senator whose office is reporting such threats. The White House said Thursday that Kavanaugh and his wife have also received threats.
The office of Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has also been also receiving ugly calls and emails. Those against Kavanaugh's nomination have pressured Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Collins, female Senate Republicans who support abortion rights, to vote against his confirmation.
