US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh once more rejects allegations he sexually abused women as “last-minute smears” that were “false and uncorroborated.”
In a statement prepared for a crunch Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, the judge again denies the allegation by Christine Blasey Ford — who will testify at tomorrow’s hearing about her claim Kavanaugh assaulted her when they were teenagers.
“Over the past few days, other false and uncorroborated accusations have been aired,” he adds. “These are last-minute smears, pure and simple.”
Deborah Ramirez, a former Yale classmate, has also accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her during a party in the 1980s.
It was unclear whether Kavanaugh’s testimony was written before or after a third woman came forward Wednesday saying she witnessed him behave abusively towards women, and was gang-raped at a party he attended in the early 1980s.
