Brett Kavanaugh Responds to Avenatti’s ‘Gang Rape’ Claim: ‘Totally False and Outrageous’

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum asked Brett Kavanaugh about lawyer Michael Avenatti‘s claim that he has evidence the the Supreme Court nominee targeted women for “gang rape” in the early 1980s.

Avenatti tossed out the explosive allegation — without providing any evidence — on Twitter Sunday night. He claimed, in an email to chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee Mike Davis, to have “significant evidence of multiple house parties in the Washington, D.C. area in the early 1980s during which Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge and others would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs in order to allow a ‘train’ of men to gang rape them.”

MacCallum asked Kavanaugh about the claim in their interview on Monday night: “Did you ever participate in or where you ever aware of any gang-rape that happened at a party that you attended?”

“That’s totally false and outrageous,” Kavanaugh replied. “I’ve never done any such thing, known about any such thing.”

Kavanaugh explained that he was “focused on academics and athletics” in high school.

“And yes, there were parties,” he continued. “And the drinking age was 18, and yes, the seniors were legal and had beer there. And yes, people might have had too many beers on occasion and people generally in high school – I think all of us have probably done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe a bit, but that’s not what we’re talking about.”

“We’re talking about an allegation of sexual assault,” he said, before revealing that he did not have sexual intercourse until “years” after high school.
