Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who represents a woman who claimed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was at a party where she was gang-raped, blasted Sen. Susan Collins for dismissing that “outlandish” allegation.

Collins’ speech was a dramatic cap to Kavanaugh’s nomination process, and made it clear he was on the way to being confirmed by the Senate. It was also a slap to Democrats who many Republicans say used highly questionable information to smear the nominee.
