Topic: Trump’s using it to cast doubt on Kavanaugh’s other accusers.
President Donald Trump tweeted on Saturday that one of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers had “just admitted she was lying.” The woman in question is not Christine Blasey Ford or Deborah Ramirez it’s probably not even the “Jane Doe” behind a letter sent to lawmakers with allegations about Kavanaugh. Instead, it’s Judy Munro-Leighton, who once claimed to be Jane. Trump says Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Friday sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray referring Munro-Leighton to the Justice Department and FBI regarding “fabricated allegations” about Kavanaugh. It detailed a bizarre series of events where senators received an anonymous letter with claims about Kavanaugh, Munro-Leighton said she wrote the letter, and then said she had not. Staffers for Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) referred to investigators an undated handwritten letter signed “Jane Doe” that the office had received from Oceanside, California. The letter claimed that Kavanaugh and a friend had raped her “several times each” in a car but had no return address, timeframe, or location.
The committee set out to investigate the claims, and they asked Kavanaugh about them he vehemently denied them. They released the transcript of the interview with Kavanaugh and the full text of the letter. Munro-Leighton emailed the committee claiming to be Jane Doe and included a typed version of the letter. They found her, and Grassley’s letter says she was a “left-wing activist” who is “decades older than” Kavanaugh and lives in Kentucky. Investigators spoke with Munro-Leighton about her allegations, and she said that she hadn’t been assaulted by Kavanaugh and, in fact, didn’t write the letter at all. She said she sent the email as a way to “grab attention” after seeing the letter online.
This is not the only Kavanaugh accuser Grassley referred to the department that attorney Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick, who claimed Kavanaugh targeted women with drugs and alcohol in high school so they could be susceptible to gang rape. He referred a man to the department who made and recanted a story about Kavanaugh.
