What Deborah Ramirez Alleges

The allegation from the Colorado woman became public knowledge via a report in The New Yorker magazine published Sunday. Ramirez, now 53, alleges that she was sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh during the 1983-84 academic school year when they were both was freshmen at Yale University.

Does the New Yorker Have Proof?

The magazine makes clear that Ramirez has gaps in her memory because she was drunk at the party—but she insists she remembers Kavanaugh pulling up his pants and someone shouting: “Brett Kavanaugh just put his penis in Debbie’s face!” The magazine admits it was not able to back the story up with eyewitnesses, but three former classmates said they remembered hearing about the incident.

How Kavanaugh Responded

As with the Ford allegation, Kavanaugh has flatly denied the claim from Ramirez. In a statement to The New Yorker, he dismissed Ramirez’ recollection as a fabrication. “This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen,” he said. “The people who knew me then know that this did not happen, and have said so. This is a smear, plain and simple.

How the White House Responded

The White House—and Trump personally—continue to bullishly support Kavanaugh.

Why Is Michael Avenatti Involved Now?

The lawyer for Stormy Daniels and 2020 presidential hopeful inserted himself into the Kavanaugh story late Sunday after he tweeted that he’s representing a woman who has “credible evidence” against the nominee.
