Brett Kavanaugh's Attorney Comes Forward Witha Bombshell Destroys Accuser's #1 Claim
a short time ago I talked with judge Cavanaugh's attorney beth wilkinson
there are now calls not only the senate minority leader chuck schumer but all
ten Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are calling for Cavanaugh to
withdraw his nomination is he considering that at all no he's not and
it's very unfortunate that it's come to this today I'm shocked by the
allegations that were just extraordinary that they were just dropped on the
public today and on the committee if you read those allegations they mean that
tens and tens of men and women were involved with gang rape and binge
drinking and all that goes along with that for years and no one reported it
and no one reported it since Judge Cavanaugh has been in this process if
this allegation has merit I don't understand why her attorney didn't bring
it forward before and why he hasn't gone to the police the Democrats are saying
why not just put the brakes on everything and tell the FBI to reopen
this background investigation I mean that's up to the Senate Judiciary
Committee so it's up to judge Kavanaugh it's really up for it's really not he's
part of this process the Senate is in charge of this process they run the
investigation they run the hearing he has said what he knows which is he
absolutely didn't do this he doesn't even know this woman and he has
submitted himself to questions under the penalty of perjury over and over again
he said repeatedly he's never engaged in this kind of conduct and I wonder why
these people didn't come forward when Judge Cavanaugh has been in the
limelight for months months and if they thought that these allegations had any
merit they should have come forward before and there would have been plenty
of time to do whatever they want to do but you have to question the motives
when they come forward with the most salacious most outrageous allegations
the day before the hearing senator flake said today on the speech on the floor
that no matter what happens even if they get to a yes and no vote that this is
going to have some doubt surrounding it I understand what he's saying because
this process what it's become is so demeaning and degrading for our country
I don't know why anyone would ever want to put their name in the Hat for a
public office name if we're going to do this to people I think there is going to
be a pail over everyone for how they participated in this and it you wouldn't
haul out and make accusations against someone the day before they were going
in front of a hearing you just wouldn't do that normal people even when they're
opposed to judge Cavanaugh which again they have every right to be we'd never
do that and so it just makes everybody look like you know they're politicizing
the Supreme Court and the approval process I talk to a lot of people they
say it just feels bad to them no matter what side you're on
listening to judge Cavanaugh and his wife on that interview with Martha the
other night is he more indignant angry I know he's he's very upset about it
because he knows he didn't do it but you know he's a judge he's not a television
person he's not a trial lawyer like I am and so he's not used to talking about
these things and being on television and it's I think embarrassing in front of
his family and his two daughters to talk about you know that he drank at times in
excess when he was in college about dating girls and what happened it's not
a comfortable position for him that doesn't mean he doesn't have to answer
the questions he understands that comes with the job interview and he's not
saying feel sorry for him but yes he's he's he's outraged by this most recent
allegation because it suggests that for years years there was gang rape going on
and no one said anything of multitude of women and you know a large number of men
were involved it doesn't say actually he was involved
it says he was present which he was not he doesn't even know this woman but this
is a whole different level of allegation we're in this environment obviously
people are being told that they need to come forward two out of three don't
really talk about it but here you have the end of the line and there are a
number of women coming forward well I don't I mean I think some of the women
didn't want to come forward as I understand it for dr. blaze a fourth she
didn't want to come forward and someone leaked her name I feel sorry for her I
feel sorry for anyone who's associated with this process a mark judge who touch
Kavanagh was friends with you know some of the other people who were supposedly
at this party that and says did not happen and and they
don't recall it and it's of course not consistent with judge Gavin our what
they know about him and what he did way back in high school in college but
everybody is demeaned by this process and somebody leaked that information I
don't understand why this information with you know by brought forward by
mister avenatti was you know held back until today and I think I understand why
it makes everyone feel uncomfortable because sexual assault is a very serious
claim and it's difficult for women to talk about it and it shouldn't be
politicized on either side it is not fair to the women and it's not fair to
the men who can be accused or wrongly accused so when they keep saying it
needs to be investigated by the FBI what is the thought in your corner why didn't
they call the police when the day mr. avenatti started representing her no one
stopped him from going to the police or the FBI in fact as I understand it the
Senate Judiciary Committee just sent him the phone numbers of the FBI he knows
what he's doing also today the lawyer for dr. Blasi Ford a head of this
testimony tomorrow put out said she's not going to put out the medical records
and the notes but she did put out the polygraph that she apparently took on
August 7th that comes to the conclusion according to this paperwork
that it's not indicative of deception her answers to this polygraph does that
mean I think to you you know that was up to dr. posny and again she she you know
has her reasons for not wanting to come forward before and and that's that's up
to her but the notes from her that I read about in The Washington Post were
that there were notes that her therapist made and in in couples therapy and that
they don't seem to match up with what people are saying about what happened
now and so those would be relevant because that was the first time she
supposedly ever talked about this and I would have hoped that they would turn
over the notes but of course they're saying their medical records they don't
want to do that again that's up to them you know she obviously said she wanted
to be anonymous but yet in August takes a polygraph hires an attorney what is
the thinking about the reasoning behind that I think what's that here is that
judge Kavanagh knows that he didn't do this and when these allegations come out
at the last minute it's almost impossible you know to disprove when
someone says it at the last minute is he worried that she's going to come off
credible in this hearing and that they're going to lose one or two votes
honestly he's not thinking about her other than I think he you know
understands that she didn't want to be public about this either he wants to
come forward in front of the American public and explain that he didn't do
this and he'll answer any questions that the Senate Judiciary Committee has and
he'll tell the truth and that's the best he can do it doesn't like the process
how it turned out but he understands that you know that's his obligation and
he's going to do it and he's answer those questions before and he'll answer
them again and does he worry at all about getting onto the Supreme Court and
then somehow this doesn't stop and that they go after him continually for
impeachment or something else well I think we all worry that if we lose the
dignity of the process it can affect the Supreme Court and everybody involved but
I think at this point he has had investigation after investigation for
background he's had a long period where the public was allowed to look at him
you know ask questions for the Judiciary Committee senators have asked him
questions in public and in private all that's taken place and all that was
there for a reason we we are there two people are there to decide what they
think and whether the Senators will vote for him or not
and they're allowed to do that but it can't be that when people make
last-minute allegations and throw you know character assassination at him that
therefore the the answer is to step back and to not you know go forward these
people deserve to have their hearing and the senators deserve to vote as they
think they should and he's in it for the long haul
yes I mean you know it's been awful for him and his family and his daughters but
it's been worse I think he feels worse for the American public and for the
process White House senior advisor for strategic communications Mercedes slap
joins us now okay all right so we have a big hearing
happening tomorrow morning judge Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser will testify
before the Judiciary Committee the expectations as far as the White House
is concerned we heard from the president this morning saying he believes that
Republicans the the committee could not be nicer in their handling of this how
do you see this all shaping up tomorrow morning well we've seen that the
Republican senators have tried to remove politics out
this process that's very contrary to what we've seen with the Democrats who
have tried to derail the process while the GOP is trying to steer the process
back on track it's very clear that we know where the ten Democrats intentions
are and their intentions are clearly to score political points delay this
process and stop Cavanaugh they themselves and we saw Senator Schumer
point this out is that they believe they presume that Cavanaugh is guilty and has
to prove his innocence I mean that is just not the American Way and as we know
justice judge Cavanaugh has been very transparent in this process he has gone
through 32 hours of a hearing lengthy written questions that he had to answer
as well as these closed committee meetings and never once did the
Democrats bring up these allegations they withheld this information and now
at the last minute they're bringing this up to stop
Cavanaugh it's very clear that the messed up process here lies at the feet
of the Democrats is the president confident confident that he can still be
confirmed Cavanaugh yes I the president is confident that that Judge Cavanaugh
can be confirmed Judge Cavanaugh since day one has said he's willing to testify
and clear his name and clear and and stand up for his good character I tell
you I know Brett Kavanaugh and his family personally I worked with him when
I was much younger there are so many of us women out there who would stand with
Brett and and really I can tell you he was always incredibly professional
always respectful and and it's just so heartbreaking to see how there's this
character assassination and his name being drugged through the mud
because the Democrats want to stop Cavanaugh who's clearly a very qualified
judge as women as Americans I think we can all agree we want to see a fair
process play out where the president has said he wants to hear from his accuser
as well she'll get her chance tomorrow but as far as Democrats are concerned
the president making very clear how he sees them playing through all this watch
he's outstanding he said he's a gem he's an absolute gem he's been treated
very unfairly by the Democrats who are playing a time game they know what
they're doing it's a con they go into a back room and they talk with each other
and they laugh at what they're getting away with it's a con game and that's
what they play and that's about the only thing they do well really he was
reiterating what he had tweeted out as well that this is a con game on the part
of Democrats so we'll see how that all that goes this morning Mercedes before I
let you go how does the White House think that the president's message at
the UN is being perceived this week you know it's very clear that the president
is being transparent in his messaging he's talked about the importance of
American sovereignty the the fact that we've had so many success stories when
it comes both domestically and in the international realm when you look at the
fact that we've been able to make progress in the denuclearization efforts
in North Korea where we've been able to decimate Isis across the the Middle East
region there is huge success there and at the same time we're pushing for a
fair reciprocal trade deals working with our allies making sure that they're also
paying their fair share to help in the global efforts and also sorry sending a
very strong message to Iran to China to Venezuela you know again this is a
president who expects results who wants to make sure that they understand very
clearly and for America the message we heard this morning all options are on
the table when it comes to Venezuela we heard that loud and clear where Sadie's
slap at the White House for us thank you come back soon thank you so much thank
you god bless you and God bless america
