Kavanaugh classmates rescind names from statement rejecting second accuser’s allegation

Two former Yale University classmates of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have rescinded their names from a statement casting doubt on Deborah Ramirez’s claim that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a college party in the 1980s.

Ramirez’s allegation against Kavanaugh was detailed in a piece published by The New Yorker on Sunday, where she claimed he thrust his groin in her face and caused her to touch his genitals without her consent. Kavanaugh has rejected the allegation, along with two of his male classmates that Ramirez claimed were present.
