FBI reaches out to Kavanaugh accuser Deborah Ramirez
FBI agents conducting a new background investigation into President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have contacted with Deborah Ramirez, the second woman to allege Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her.
The Washington Post reports that the bureau has contacted Ramirez, Kavanaugh's classmate at Yale University, in the hours since President Trump announced Friday that he had directed the agency to perform a second background investigation to examine claims of sexual misconduct that have emerged in the last few weeks.
Ramirez told The New Yorker earlier this month that Kavanaugh pushed his exposed genitals in her face during their freshman year at Yale, causing her to come in contact when she pushed him away. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations, and others from other accusers Christine Blasey Ford and Julia Swetnick.
The Post also reports that the bureau is following up on details given by Ford during her emotional testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, during which she recounted an alleged sexual assault by Kavanaugh when the two were in high school.
