During his highly contentious confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, several women came forward and made 11th hour and uncorroborated claims against now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh — claims he had sexually assaulted them, committed sexual misconduct or witnessed sexual assaults against other women.
The most prominent of those to make claims against the then-Supreme Court nominee was California psychologist Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who said that back in the early 1980s when both she and Kavanaugh were teens in the Washington, D.C., area, the judge committed sexual misconduct against her.
In highly publicized hearings, Blasey Ford appeared before the judiciary committee and testified under oath.
Throughout the process, Kavanaugh — a married father of two daughters and a highly respected judge on the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit — vehemently denied all such accusations and maintained his innocence.
Ultimately, evidence was lacking and people identified as witnesses said they actually saw no such actions or knew nothing about them. And 89 days after President Donald Trump nominated Kavanaugh to the nation’s highest court, he was confirmed by the Senate, on Oct. 6, 2018, by a vote of 50-48.
Now, a Kentucky woman who claimed Kavanaugh raped her admits the two never even met, as LifeNews.com and other outlets reported late on Friday afternoon.
The individual, identified as Judy Munro-Leighton, has revealed “her actions were part of a ploy to take down Kavanaugh’s nomination.”
Late on Friday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)(shown above right), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the “fabricated allegations” received by the committee — and referred the individual for criminal prosecution.
