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.

A Republican aide on the committee said the conversation took place shortly after noon. While Republican staff posed questions to Kavanaugh, their Democratic counterparts were also on the call but did not ask any questions.

According to an anonymous complaint sent to Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Kavanaugh physically assaulted a woman he socialized with in the Washington, D.C. area in 1998 while he was inebriated.

1. Several of us said, when Dr. Ford's story came out, that

Others would as well.

20. Yes, its a pattern with these serial sexual predators.

Their victims are too traumatized after being drugged, plied with alcohol, and assaulted to go public with their experiences. But when one woman comes forward, others are impelled to face their own darkest fears and support her by testifying. Only then do they realize that they were one of many who were attacked and severely wounded by the same monster.

3. Groper President, Groper Judge

5. Only the Best

6. How did the FBI do their investigation?

8. Holy Shit!

[George II]

9. The headline (not yours though) is a misnomer, "the Senate" isn't investigating....

....the REPUBLICANS on the Judiciary Committee are investigating. They're just going through the motions, I'm sure.

[Midnight Writer]

19. Exactly. The Senate, under GOP rule, is probing nothing more than their thumbs up their geriatric as

11. Give it up brett...

You'll still be a hero to the donnybots...Maybe with your
new notoriety you can run for a rightwinger post
somewhere...moscow?

12. In 1998 no less, when he was age 33.

15. Wouldn't that be when he was working for Ken Starr ... including writing intensely personal

questions to be asked of Bill Clinton?

[appalachiablue]

17. Indeed, 1997-98 Clinton investigation by Ken Starr, real spectacle.

Kav didn't marry until 2004 when he was almost 40. And Starr was fired from Baylor College for neglecting a school sex scandal.

I lived 2 blocks from Starr which I didn't know until a cab driver mentioned it. We moved on from there years ago.

13. I hope there are witnesses to this.

He is surely the polar opposite of 'judicial temperament'. What are the odds his wife has seen him angry, and drunk? Or that she has suffered some degree of spousal abuse, emotional or physical? It doesn't appear to me that he has changed his spots since the 1980s.

14. at least 4 witnesses

from the article

"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 decided to remain anonymous herself."

18. Mean drunk, Jeckell & Hyde maybe as said by others. He didn't

marry until 2004 when he was almost 40. They first began dating around 2001 I think. Maybe he straightened up then or before that time. We don't know what she's been through, it could be rough.

And Mark Judge is still out of town at Bethany Bch, Del. reading comic books! instead of testifying tmrw.

16. False Flag by Republicans maybe trying to muddy up the waters?....

It's anonymous and sent to a Republican. It smells a little fishy to me but who knows
