BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Commitee probing new allegation of physical assault against Kavanaugh

Senate probing new allegation of misconduct against Kavanaugh

Supreme Court Nominee has been asked privately about an accusation of physical assault, sources tell NBC News.


WASHINGTON —The Senate Judiciary Committee is inquiring about at least one additional allegation of misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, according to a letter obtained by NBC News and multiple people familiar with the process.

Republican Senate investigators asked Kavanaugh about the new complaint, NBC News has learned, during a phone call on Tuesday between Kavanaugh and committee staff. Sources told NBC News that Kavanaugh denied the allegation in the letter during the call and a spokesman for the committee declined to comment.

The sender of the complaint described an evening involving her own daughter, Kavanaugh and several friends in 1998.

“When they left the bar (under the influence of alcohol) they were all shocked when Brett Kavanaugh, shoved her friend up against the wall very aggressively and sexually.”

“There were at least four witnesses including my daughter.” The writer of the letter provided no names but said the alleged victim was still traumatized and had decide to remain anonymous herself.

In lieu of losing a vote, he'll appear to be a sensitive hero to womankind and pull him.

I bet that all the times he assaulted women felt so normal or insignificant to him that it never occurred to him that it would blow up like this.
