Kavanaugh roommate: ‘I never saw Brett black out’

A former roommate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh defended the embattled nominee on Monday by claiming he never saw the federal judge black out or become aggressive after consuming alcohol, after several of Kavanaugh’s classmates at Yale University said he downplayed his behavior when he testified at the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.

“I never saw Brett black out or not be able to remember the prior evening’s events, nor did I ever see Brett act aggressive, hostile, or in a sexually aggressive manner to women,” Dan Murphy said in a statement Monday.
