Michael Avenatti, the attorney representing Julie Swetnick in her sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, issued a stern warning on Friday to Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“Warning - If the committee advances the nomination this afternoon, my client and I are going to thoroughly enjoy embarrassing @ChuckGrassley @LindseyGrahamSC @tedcruz and all of the other GOP members on the committee this weekend when her story is told and is deemed credible,” he tweeted Friday afternoon.

“And if you think I am bluffing, you have not been paying attention the last 7 months. I don’t traffic in nonsense. I traffic in facts and evidence,” he added.

The tweets came shortly before the Judiciary Committee advanced Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate for a confirmation vote. The 11-10 panel vote was along party lines.

Avenatti released Swetnick’s allegations Wednesday, tweeting out a sworn declaration outlining her allegations against Kavanaugh, including that he was present for a “gang rape” of which she was a victim.

Swetnick was the third woman to go public with allegations of varying degrees of sexual misconduct. The accusations have upended Kavanaugh’s confirmation process, with Sen.
