Attorney Michael Avenatti said Wednesday that a woman he represents, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of enabling sexual assault, is "100 percent" prepared to testify about her claims before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"She wants an FBI investigation to be launched immediately. She is prepared to meet with the FBI, disclose everything she knows, disclose additional witnesses," Avenatti said on MSNBC, referring to his client, Julie Swetnick.
Swetnick alleged in a signed declaration made public Wednesday that Kavanaugh and others attempted to intoxicate girls at parties in the 1980s so they could be "gang raped," and that Kavanaugh was present during a "gang rape" in which she was the victim.
"The allegations in this declaration are shocking, they are also detailed, and my client stands behind them 100 percent," Avenatti said on MSNBC.
"My client has been issued a number of security clearances, fully vetted and she is an honest and courageous woman," he added.
The Senate Judiciary Committee said in a statement that lawyers for the panel are reviewing Swetnick's claims.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Swetnick wrote in her declaration that she has held a number of government jobs, including with the Department of Defense and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). She is the third woman to accuse Kavanaugh of some form of sexual misconduct.
Christine Blasey Ford alleged earlier this month that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her during a high school party in the 1980s. She and Kavanaugh are set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday about her claims. Kavanaugh said Monday on Fox that he wants the opportunity to be heard.
Deborah Ramirez went public on Sunday with her allegation that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party during his freshman year at Yale, also in the 1980s.
Kavanaugh has denied the claims from Ford and Ramirez, calling them "smears" and vowing he will not withdraw his nomination.
President Trump and some Republicans have attacked the credibility of the women accusing Kavanaugh, suggesting they are part of an organized effort by Democrats to undermine Kavanaugh's nomination and questioning why the women waited to come forward.
Trump said Tuesday that Ramirez in particular "has nothing," noting that she has admitted she was drunk during the alleged incident.
Avenatti, who has expressed aspirations to run for president in 2020, on Wednesday warned Trump and Republicans against trying similar tactics on Swetnick.
"I’m going to caution Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh, [Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck] Grassley (R-Iowa) and others: If they try to come after my client or engage in some smear campaign, they better pack a lunch, because we’re going to respond two-fold," Avenatti said.
"We’re going to respond double as it relates to force," he continued. "So they better be very careful before they start spewing nonsense and trying to call my client a liar."
Why did Julie Swetnick keep going to these parties?
Why didn't Julie Swetnick warn other girls about attending these parties?
At any of these parties, did Julie Swetnick do anything to stop these sexual assaults?
Then get her there tomorrow.
Lol, her personal info says she’s African American and has 10 kids and is single.
and owes 63K from a judgement that went against her by state of maryland or back taxes.
Wait for it...…….the famous words of the person who would be king...………….I DON’T RECALL
Hearing to be determined later.
Yup. It’s all about the stall. No nomination until after the midterms and hope for change in House and Senate. She can then change her mind right after that.
How did the Slimy Porn Lawyer get to her?
YES ASK “Julie Swetnick” these questions
I don’t see this posted often enough.......6 FBI background checks and they couldn’t find any of these allegations. I say bu$$shi*t!
This is getting absurd.
BLOAT
If you want your sons to have a successful future, do not EVER allow them to associate with American girls.
Do not speak to them. Do not acknowledge them. Never be alone with them. Do not associate with them in any manner.
This is the world these women are calling down on their daughters.
Who knows but for all her sincerity she sure knew to wait until they needed more delay.
They should call his bluff and say, “You bet. Right after Ford testifies, you’re witness is next. In fact, we’re going to put a yellow tape at the doorway to the room. All women who want to share their allegations of Kavanaugh raping them or somebody else show up. The line forms there.
They’ve jumped the shark. People pay enough attention nowadays to see this for what it is. Even the low information voters.
This is scorched earth and the democrats just blew themselves up in a work accident.
Did she ever warn girls that the punch was spiked?
Did she ever call the cops to report all these rapes?
It all reads like a silly frat party story until she makes the direct allegation of being the victim of some gang rape she is not very clear in claiming that Kavanagh himself raped her. It’s highly possible she was a drunken slut at these parties. It’s also possible they took advantage of drunken girls. I guess my main reaction is that I hope the story is not true. Something tells me that Mr. Judge was badly behaved and Kavanagh was his friend.
....Also Note that, like Kavenaugh is purported to be, she too was also present at multiple of these "Parties." So using her logic ... She could also be complicit and accused of doing the same things that the Opposition is accusing Kavenaugh of doing ..... Because she was constantly present at these same parties you could also argue that she condoned this behavior by just being serially present.
