Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has a calendar he saved from the summer of 1982 that he plans to provide the Senate Judiciary Committee in part of his effort to rebut a sexual assault allegation made against him, according to a report.
Christine Ford, a California professor, has claimed Kavanaugh assaulted her that summer at a small gathering when she was 15, he was 17, and they both attended high schools in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Citing an anonymous source, the NYT reported: “His team will argue to the senators that the calendars provide no corroboration for her account.”
The calendar pages detail Kavanaugh’s schedule in June, July, and August in 1982. The calendar shows that Kavanaugh was away most of the summer at the beach or with his parents, and extremely busy while in town with basketball games, football workouts, and college interviews.
Four People Deny Claim
Leland Ingham Keyser was the fourth person to deny the claim. Through her lawyer, she released a statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee on the night of Sept. 22, following a staff member of the committee reaching out to her.“Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford,” Howard Walsh, an attorney for Keyser, wrote.
Kavanaugh has also denied the allegation: “This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes—to her or to anyone. Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making the accusation until she identified herself yesterday. I am willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way the committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity.”
He since gave testimony to the committee under penalty of perjury, something Ford has yet to do.
Mark Judge and Patrick Smyth, also named by Ford as attendees at the alleged party, have also denied the claim.
