Michael Avenatti just trotted out Julie Swetnick to try to sink Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination.
To be sure there are mile-wide holes in her story but in today’s political environment who knows what will happen.
Brett has come out strongly in denial of this accusations. But it was Trump who cut through the nonsense.
As reported by Fox News:
Attorney Michael Avenatti, on the eve of Brett Kavanaugh’s high-profile hearing to address sexual misconduct allegations, identified and released a “sworn declaration” from a woman who claims the Supreme Court nominee was involved in “gang” rapes in the early 1980s.
Avenatti’s client was identified as Julie Swetnick, who further claims in the statement that Kavanaugh and a friend were “present” when she became a “victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes” in 1982.
Kavanaugh issued a strong denial in response, saying in a statement: “This is ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone. I don’t know who this is and this never happened.”
Avenatti, who for days has vowed to release damaging information about Kavanaugh, posted the document a day before Kavanaugh and California professor Christine Blasey Ford are set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about an alleged sexual assault while the two were in high school.
He also sent the statement to the committee on Wednesday, calling for the confirmation process again to be delayed.
Swetnick is the third woman to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh that date back to his time at Georgetown Prep high school in Maryland and Yale University.
Taylor Foy, a spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, told Fox News that lawyers for the committee are reviewing Swetnick’s declaration.
Grassley later told reporters his attorneys are contacting the individual. “Our lawyers are on it right now, our staff investigators. … I can’t say anything until they get done,” he said.
Enter President Trump. He b*tch slapped Avenatti in a tweet:
“Avenatti is a third rate lawyer who is good at making false accusations, like he did on me and like he is now doing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He is just looking for attention and doesn’t want people to look at his past record and relationships – a total low-life.”
