Julie Swetnick on Monday leveled a variety of allegations against Brett Kavanaugh from his time in high school, implying that the Supreme Court nominee took part in plying women with alcohol and drugs, without their knowledge, at house parties in the Washington area in the early 1980s.

Though Swetnick said she couldn’t be certain that Kavanaugh was one of the multiple boys who she says raped her at one such gathering, she claimed that he and his friend Mark Judge were at the party where she was assaulted.


“Before this happened to me, at that party, I saw Brett Kavanaugh there,” Swetnick said in a prerecorded interview on MSNBC. “I saw Mark Judge there. And they were hanging about the area where I started to feel disoriented and where the room was, and where the other boys were hanging out. And laughing. I could hear them laughing and laughing.”

The FBI is currently undertaking a one-week investigation of sexual assault allegations various women have made against President Donald Trump’s pick for the high court, after Trump bowed to demands from Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Democrats on that panel.

Federal agents must complete their inquiry by Friday, and the full Senate chamber is set to vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination soon after.

Kavanaugh has categorically denied all charges against him, including Swetnick’s, which he deemed “a joke” and “a farce” when testifying before lawmakers last week.

Swetnick became the third woman to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct when she submitted a written statement to the Judiciary Committee in late September in which she said she witnessed Kavanaugh spike drinks at parties where girls were then sexually assaulted.

But on Monday, Swetnick clarified that she never personally witnessed Kavanaugh or Judge tampering with girls’ drinks.

“I saw him giving red Solo cups to quite a few girls during that time frame, and there was grain punch at those parties, and I would not take one of those glasses from Mark Kavanaugh — Brett Kavanaugh, excuse me,” Swetnick said.

“I saw him around the punch — I won’t say bowls — or the punch containers,” she added. “I don’t know what he did. But I saw him by them, yes.”

But Swetnick did describe a variety of physically and sexually aggressive behavior she claims she saw Kavanaugh exhibit at the house parties.

“He was very aggressive. Very sloppy drunk. Very mean drunk,” Swetnick said. “I saw him go up to girls and paw on them, try to, you know, get a little too handsy, touching them in private parts. I saw him try to shift clothing.”

She also claims she saw Kavanaugh “push girls against walls,” adding: “He would pretend to stumble, and stumble into them and knock them into a wall. He would push his body against theirs. He would grope them.”

Swetnick said she first considered coming forward with her allegations against Kavanaugh only after learning of Christine Blasey Ford’s account of assault by Kavanaugh.

Ford — who testified before lawmakers last week and whose allegation was the impetus for the FBI’s investigation — claims Kavanaugh drunkenly tried to force himself on her at a house party in suburban Maryland in the 1980s, when they were both in high school.

“I started to think back to my days when I was in the early ‘80s in Montgomery County in Maryland, and I thought that I might have some information that might corroborate some of the things that she had stated,” Swetnick said, going on to describe her first impressions of Kavanaugh and Judge.

“I remember meeting him,” she said. “I remember — he's got a very distinctive face, very distinctive face, as does Mark Judge. I remember specifically meeting him, being introduced to him.”

“I believe he might have been wearing a Georgetown Prep uniform,” she added, “which a lot of the boys used to wear — at least a uniform or parts of their uniform.”

FBI agents have already interviewed Judge, as well as Deborah Ramirez — Kavanaugh’s second accuser, who claims he “thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent” during an alcohol-fueled dormitory party in the 1983-84 academic school year at Yale , where they were both students.

But Swetnick’s attorney, Michael Avenatti, told POLITICO on Saturday that she had not yet been contacted by the FBI. Avenatti is also the lawyer for adult-film actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against the president.

“If they do not conduct an investigation into my client’s claims, it will cast significant doubt as to the legitimacy of the investigation as a whole,” Avenatti said. “You can’t possibly do an appropriate investigation without talking with her.”

On Sunday, Swetnick detailed her alleged sexual assault at the hands of several boys roughly three decades ago, calling the experience “probably the most horrendous, awful thing that could happen to any human being.”

Swetnick claimed she “started not to feel very well” at one of the parties where Kavanaugh and Judge were present. She said she was “shoved into a room,” had her “clothes torn in different directions” and was “touched everywhere” on her body.

“I was physically assaulted in every way you can possibly physically assault a woman,” Swetnick said. “It was horrible. I had no way to fend them off.”

Though Swetnick could not confirm that Kavanaugh was a participant in her assault, she said she believed he was ultimately involved in what she described as coordinated attempts to gang-rape girls at parties.

“I would say yes,” Swetnick said. “It's just too coincidental.”
