Michael Avenatti, porn star Stormy Daniels’ high-profile lawyer, has a new client: a woman claiming to know salient details about Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh as he grapples with allegations of sexual misconduct.
“I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge,” Avenatti wrote Sunday on Twitter. “We will be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee and will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify. The nomination must be withdrawn.”

In a follow-up tweet, Avenatti shared an email he sent to Mike Davis, chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee. In that email he said, “We are aware of significant evidence of multiple house parties in the Washington, D.C. area during the early 1980s during which Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge and others would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs in order to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them.”
Avenatti also said there are multiple witnesses willing to corroborate these “facts” and said they must be called to testify publicly.

We demand that this process be thorough, open and fair, which is what the American public deserves. It must not be rushed and evidence/witnesses must not be hidden. pic.twitter.com/11XLZJBTtY

Brett Kavanaugh must also be asked about this entry in his yearbook: “FFFFFFFourth of July.” We believe that this stands for: Find them, French them, Feel them, Finger them, F*ck them, Forget them. As well as the term “Devil’s Triangle.” Perhaps Sen. Grassley can ask him. #Basta

Kavanaugh has so far been accused of sexual misconduct by two women.
Christine Blasey Ford came out last weekend to accuse Kavanaugh of drunkenly forcing himself on her in a bedroom while the pair were at a Maryland high school house party in the 1980s. Ford told the Washington Post she was able to disentangle herself from Kavanaugh when his former Georgetown Preparatory School classmate, Mark Judge, jumped on them.
Ford agreed Sunday to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday about her claims. Kavanaugh will also be given an opportunity to address the panel. Ford’s lawyers have been pushing the committee to interview other possible witnesses or invite them to attend a hearing, including Judge. Judge, however, declined last week to speak to the panel about the alleged incident. “I do not recall the party described in Dr. Ford’s letter,” Judge said via his counsel. “More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes.”
Avenatti’s announcement preceded a second woman, Deborah Ramirez, coming forward Sunday night with another accusation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.
Deborah Ramirez told the New Yorker that Kavanaugh pulled down his pants at a Yale University college party during the 1983-84 academic school year. The then-freshman flashed his penis close to Ramirez’s face, leading the fellow Yale alum to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away.
Ramirez was not the mystery client, Avenatti tweeted later Sunday.
Kavanaugh has denied both allegations.
“This is a smear, plain and simple,” he said in a statement Sunday. “I look forward to testifying on Thursday about the truth, and defending my good name — and the reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime building — against these last-minute allegations.”
