Michael Avenatti, who is representing porn star Stormy Daniels, said Monday his client with “credible information” on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his high school classmate Mark Judge is planning to bring forward allegations against Kavanaugh through an on-camera interview in the next 48 hours.
Avenatti confirmed this to the Washington Examiner, following tweets he sent Sunday evening including a screenshot of an email he sent to chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee Mike Davis detailing that he is “aware of significant evidence of multiple house parties in the Washington, D.C. area during the 1980s.”
Avenatti’s email to Davis claimed that Kavanaugh, Judge, and others would “participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them.”
“This is a search for the truth — plain and simple,” Avenatti said in an email to the Washington Examiner, confirming that his client would come forward soon.
According to Politico, Avenatti’s client is a former government employee and has retained a security clearance. “She’s had multiple security clearances over the years, including public trust and secret security clearance,” Avenatti said, per Politico.
Avenatti, a potential 2020 presidential candidate, is calling for Kavanaugh’s nomination to be withdrawn and “demanding the opportunity to present testimony” to the Senate Judiciary Committee and “will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify.”
When questioned about Avenatti’s claims during an interview Monday with Fox News’ Martha McCallum, Kavanaugh characterized them as “totally false and outrageous.”
Kavanaugh has been accused by two women of sexual misconduct. Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman, claims Kavanaugh forced himself onto her at a high school party in the 1980s.
The New Yorker published a piece on Sunday in which Deborah Ramirez accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a college party in the 1980s at Yale University when they were students.
Kavanaugh has rejected both allegations and he and Ford are slated to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
