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.
