The wife of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, has received a host of vulgar threats since a California professor accused him of sexual assault.
The volume of threats Ashley Estes Kavanaugh, a town manager in a Maryland suburb, has received has risen this week, a senior Trump administration official told the Washington Examiner.
Emails sent to Ashley Kavanaugh are currently being investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service, the official said.
In one email Ashley Kavanaugh received to her work email account this week, the person wrote, “Please tell your rapist, lying, cheating, corrupt bitch of a husband to put a bullet in his ugly fucking skull.”
“My condolences to you for being married to a rapist. Although you probably deserve it,” the email, obtained by the Washington Examiner, continued.
A second email sent had the subject line, “Did you know your husband is a rapist?????”
“Hey bitch, did you know your husband was a rapist before you married him? Fuck you and your fucking family,” the email read.
A third email tells Ashley Kavanaugh to “eat shit.”
“Fuck you, rape enabling c**t. Your husband is a liar, thief, rapist, and probably a pedophile. Burn in hell you worthless fucking c**t. May you, your husband and your kids burn in hell you fucking pieces of trash,” the third message said.
The three emails directed to Ashley Kavanaugh came from the same account.
California professor Christine Blasey Ford accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her during a party 36 years ago. Ford said a drunken Brett Kavanaugh pinned her down on a bed, groped her, and tried to take off her clothing.
Brett Kavanaugh has categorically denied the accusation.
Ford, too, has received violent threats since she spoke publicly about the alleged incident and has left her home.
“As you are aware, she has been receiving death threats, which have been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and she and her family have been forced out of their home,” Ford’s lawyers wrote in an email to staff on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
