The US president has reacted to the probe in a tweet.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has stated that Trump stands "100 percent" with the Supreme Court nominee and wants the Senate to vote soon.
Earlier, the White House, as well as the Senate Judiciary Committee, confirmed that they had received the FBI’s report on sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh.
The White House has stated that it is "fully confident" the Senate will approve his nomination, a spokesman said.
As the report is confidential, senators will not be allowed to talk about its content.
