KAVANAUGH ‘HEAVY DRINKER’ AT YALE

-

President Donald Trump said Monday he wants the FBI to do a “comprehens­ive” investigat­ion into allegation­s of sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh. But he also said he stands by his Supreme Court nominee “all the way.” The president added, “We don’t want to go on a witch hunt, do we?”

Even as the FBI explored the past allegation­s that have surfaced against Kavanaugh, another Yale classmate came forward to accuse the federal appellate judge of being untruthful in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the extent of his drinking in college.

Charles “Chad” Ludington said Kavanaugh was “a frequent drinker and a heavy drinker” at Yale. He said he was “deeply troubled by what has been a blatant mischaract­erization by Brett himself of his drinking at Yale.”

Meanwhile, the prosecutor who was brought in by Republican­s to handle questionin­g at last week’s hearing outlined in a new memo why she did not believe criminal charges would be brought against Kavanaugh if it were a criminal case.
