Kavanaugh Breaks Silence on Avenatti Represented Accuser

Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent

Judge Brett Kavanaugh vehemently denied a new decades-old allegation against him made by a woman represented by Michael Avenatti, in a new statement.

“This is ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone. I don’t know who this is and this never happened,” Kavanaugh said.

In a document sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday morning, Avenatti’s client Julie Swetnick claims she attended parties where she saw Kavanaugh try to get girls drunk and disoriented so that they could be “gang” raped.

Below is an updated summary of where I stand on over 20 key issues. This is not an exhaustive list; more positions and details will follow. I am pleased to report that I still have not had to take a poll or hire a political consultant to tell me what to say or what to believe. pic.twitter.com/51F9zF88OG

Swetnick alleges that Kavanaugh and his high school associate Mark Judge were involved in sexually debauched parties and were “present” when she was gang raped. The Judiciary committee is now investigating Swetnick’s allegation.

Kavanaugh will testify before the committee Thursday about allegations made against him by Swetnick, Deborah Ramirez and Dr. Christine Ford. He will testify, “There has been a frenzy to come up with something — anything, no matter how far-fetched or odious — that will block a vote on my nomination. These are last minute smears, pure and simple.”

“The truth is that I have never sexually assaulted anyone — not in high school, not in college, not ever.”
