More than 60 individuals who say they knew Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in high school on Wednesday rebutted a fresh accusation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.
The men and women wrote in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that an allegation that Kavanaugh was present at a high school party where there was a gang rape is “nonsense.”
“We never witnessed any behavior that even approaches what is described in this allegation. It is reprehensible,” they wrote in the letter, which was released by the White House.
Michael Avenatti, the attorney who represents Stormy Daniels, on Wednesday released sworn testimony from a client, Julie Swetnick, who accused Kavanaugh of being present at a house party in high school where she was drugged and raped by multiple boys.

The high school contemporaries of Kavanaugh in their letter to Grassley and Feinstein said that they “do not recall having ever met” Swetnick and defended Kavanaugh as a “good man.”
“In the extensive amount of time we collectively spent with Brett, we do not recall having ever met someone named Julie Swetnick,” they wrote. “Nor did we ever observe Brett engaging in any conduct resembling that described in Ms. Swetnick’s declaration.”
“Brett Kavanaugh is a good man. He has always treated women with respect and decency,” they added.
