The Forward is a Jewish publication.

Julie Swetnick, the Jewish woman who has made explosive sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is poised for a major network television interview — as the FBI started its investigation without speaking with her.

Lawyer Michael Avenatti Avenatti teased the appearance during an Oct. 1 tweetstorm when he shared a picture of Swetnick sitting down with NBC’s Kate Snow along with the hashtags “#Truth #Facts #Courage #Justice.”

Swetnick has apparently broken her silience to Snow about her claim to have attended parties in the early ‘80s where she saw Kavanaugh drink excessively, act “over aggressive with girls.” Swetnick says sh was herself a victim of a “gang” sex assault at one of the the “train rape” parties.

Media reporter Brian Stelter tweeted out that sources told him NBC was working to try and confirm portions of her bombshell allegations and there was no set air date.

They'll air it on the Tuesday Today Show, to capitalize on attention being on this story.

They haven't been able to corroborate anything and pointed out significant factual differences between their interview and what she said in her original statement.

would air it without trying to validate parts or most of it. I believe her, what happened to her seem to coincide with the type of conduct that other people say from Kavanaugh when he was drunk (belligerent and physically aggressive).
