Republican investigators for the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday asked Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh about two new allegations against him, according to a transcript of a conference call released by the committee.
In the transcript released Wednesday, Kavanaugh denied an allegation that he assaulted a woman he was dating in 1998 while working for independent counsel Ken Starr that investigators said stemmed from an anonymous complaint sent to Colorado GOP Sen. Cory Gardner.
"No, and we're dealing with an anonymous letter about an anonymous person and an anonymous friend," Kavanaugh said. "It's ridiculous. Total Twilight Zone. And no, I've never done anything like that."
Kavanaugh then was asked about, and categorically denied, an allegation made by a Rhode Island man -- whose name was redacted from the transcript -- raised in a call to Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse's office "concerning a rape on a boat in August of 1985."
Kavanaugh has denied three other allegations against him, all involving women who have come forward publicly.

(70,449 posts)1. So we have the following: (alleged)
Sexual assault on a 15 year old girl
pushing his dick against the face of a coed @ Yale
drugging and raping women @ high school parties
throwing a woman against a wall outside a Georgetown bar in 1998
and now a rape on a boat in 1985?
Send him to prison, not to the Supreme Court!
