A man who attended Yale University with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh went on the record on Sunday accusing Kavanaugh of "mischaracterizing" his alcohol consumption during last week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Chad Ludington in an interview with The New York Times said he saw Kavanaugh "staggering from alcohol consumption" multiple times, describing him as a "belligerent and aggressive" drunk.
"It is truth that is at stake, and I believe that the ability to speak the truth, even when it does not reflect well upon oneself, is a paramount quality we seek in our nation’s most powerful judges,” Ludington said in a statement, according to the Times.
Ludington said Kavanaugh during the hearing downplayed the "degree and frequency" of his drinking. He told the Times that the FBI has asked him to share his story at the bureau's Raleigh, N.C., office on Monday.
It is unclear if his testimony will play a role in the week-long FBI investigation into allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh, the Times reported.
Several other classmates in recent days have accused Kavanaugh of misleading Congress over his alcohol consumption. Former FBI Director James Comey in a Times op-ed published Sunday charged Kavanaugh with "lying" under oath.
Kavanaugh throughout the hearing insisted that he has never blacked out or passed out due to alcohol consumption.
Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing him of assaulting her in 1982, has said that Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge were intoxicated during the incident.
Kavanaugh told outside counsel Rachel Mitchell during the hearing that he has never "passed out" from drinking.
"I’ve gone to sleep," he said. "But I’ve never blacked out, that’s the allegation. And that’s, that’s wrong."
Kavanaugh appeared agitated by questions from Democratic senators about his history with partying and drinking, at one point asking Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) if she has ever blacked out due to alcohol consumption.
"I like beer,” he said in response to one of Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D-R.I.) questions. “Do you like beer, senator? What do you like to drink?"
He said repeatedly that he likes beer but does not drink heavily.
The FBI probe will last a week and investigate Ford's allegation as well as claims from Deborah Ramirez, who has accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself without her consent during a Yale University party in the 1980s.
Ramirez reportedly spoke to the FBI on Sunday.
Stop giving up on the Dims not giving up. We all watched it. He didn't commit perjury or mislead the Senate. He said he drinks beer and likes beer and admitted he on occasion had more than he should have. An argument between him and Horse's A$$ about how much is too much and how often is too often is a matter of judgment and opinion, not a matter of fact subject, like 30 is more than 15.
Perjury is like saying I am married to so and so when in fact you are married to two other women instead.
Betcha not— newbie. Morning Schmoe has a problem with nose candy— one of the reasons he could NOT get re-elected to Congress from Conservative Pensacola. That and a mystery death of an aide in his office. And now he’s banging Zbiggie Brzynski
whose daddy was Jimmah Cahtah’s (the era of Allman Bros, Bert Lance and Banco Lavoro drug laundering) Nat. Security Adviser. A dude who comes from supposedly “white Russian” (but really low Polish) aristo— who had it really wrong pretty much all the time esp. as regards... voila! Iran hostages.
Sounds like his accuser is projecting.
Every normal college student is a sloppy drunk. It’s what they do.
With few exceptions. That stuff is all subjective and has nothing to do with the investigation that is happening.
What does how long someone has been here have to do with their opinions.
In this case the poster thinks the Judge said too much about his beer consumption and you attacked them for being a Kavenaugh hater,something you dont know and wasnt even touched on in the post
..then you tell me to go bunk with them..thats real rich.
RHIP and sometimes it breeds ignorance
#1 in his Class. Can’t be stumbling drunk or a serial assaulter and be #1 in Class, not even with a frat rat connection. THIS will matter to even the dumbest a@@ RINO.
This is such a nothingburger. For one thing, all this guy is claiming is that he thinks Judge K "downplayed" how much he drank, which is subjective dependent upon many factors. Unless this guy was a constant companion with Kavanaugh like some of his other good friends, he wouldn't be able to judge that objectively. If he only saw Kavanaugh once at a kegger and Kavanaugh drank a lot of beer that night - in his subjective reality that would be 100%.
I don't think the Judge ever quantified how much he drank - only that he likes beer and likes to drink beer. The only thing he categorically stated was that he never blacked-out from drinking. Period. And unless this guy has videotape of Kavanaugh "passing out", there's no lies or misleading testimony.
only point was he was trumpeting it(beer) out there and although I loved his passion and fire I felt he could have backed off on emphasizing the drinking.
I hope he gets in and don’t feel there is a better being human on this earth.
Will Kavanaugh get a chance to see the FBI reports? That would surprise me if true.
We definitely need to expose these clymers and not give them an inch. If we looked up this Ludington DB and found a geology professor who liked rocks, then there wouldn't be much we could say. But instead, we find as you so aptly called him a commode hugging drunk and therefore his claims about Judge K's drinking habits are seriously suspect.
Man, missed that— he’s part of the Chapel Hill-Raleigh-Durham Fagocracy. An effete “food science” queer assistant teaching professor-— after all these years. Wonder if he’s “tenured” to the position. Same sex “marriage”-—oh yeah he’s just doing his “duty”.... think of the judgement lacks that got him to “marry” a male. The Toot of Earl. Good Lord.
How many dui’s does he have?
Queer as a 3 dollar bill. A liar!
These are the same people who can’t wait to make every kind of drug legal.
This might get interesting IF he shows.....
Willing to “step up to the plate” for the LGBTQ “community” of mentally ill individuals— particularly the trannies. ALL of whom have a great deal of HATE in them— because they know they are screwed up, drink and do drugs to assuage this “inconvenience” and now.... like a true fruit narcissist- is going for his ten seconds of idiocy fame on video. Let’s check the dude’s social media for photos from Fantasy Fest in Key West— he fits the profile absolutely.
You certainly would know..........
Clinton was way too late and a soy additive boy with heart disease, complete with coronary artery bypass surgers and eroded nasal septum repair in his clinical history. Probably with tertiary syphilis at this point (signs, the staring, and symptoms point to neurosyphilis- which is what killed Lenin).
Forensic people notice these things. As well as being sterile- and thus— Chelsea’s father is someone else.
So says the 8/17/18 newbie.........Yea, I have a problem with that......
