Julie Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, says she is 'disgusted and appalled' by the way her claims against the now-Supreme Court Justice were ignored by the Senate.

In a statement released Sunday through her high-profile lawyer Michael Avenatti, Swetnick criticizes both media pundits and politicians for 'claiming I should have ''shut up'' and continued to stay silent about what happened to me'.

'They claim my allegations were ''not helpful to the process,'' Swetnick writes, particularly calling out Meet the Press host Chuck Todd and Republican Senator Susan Collins. 'This is outrageous and shows a complete lack of empathy for survivors.'

Swetnick's comments come the morning after Judge Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in to serve on the highest court in the nation despite her claims that she witnessed him take part in drugging and gang raping women at numerous high school parties.

Swetnick's statement was released via Twitter by Avenatti - the lawyer known for suing Donald Trump over the alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels.

In her statement, she takes jabs at President Trump, Senator Chuck Grassley, Ted Cruz and others for 'never really wanting to get to the truth' and impeding the FBI investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct against a younger Kavanaugh.

While Dr Christine Blasey Ford - the first woman to come forward with accusations - testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Kavanaugh's second accuser Deborah Ramirez was interview by the FBI, Swetnick was never contacted.

'My allegations should have been investigated. I know of multiple corroborating witnesses and we were all prepared to speak with the FBI as we made known for weeks,' she writes.

'But because of the efforts of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the White House, the FBI refused to interview us or even attempt to hear our stories,' she adds. 'They could not be bothered to take one hour or even ten minutes to hear about what happened to us and what we witnessed.'

Swetnick had written a sworn statement saying she had seen Kavanaugh 'fondling and grabbing girls without their consent' at numerous parties between 1981 and 1983. She alleged he was part of a group that spiked drinks and lined up to 'gang-rape' young women who did not have control of their actions.

She also provided the names of four people she said could support her description of the house parties at that time, however of the four, NBC reported one was dead, two did not respond and another said they did not recall Swetnick.

Despite the accusations, senators voted Saturday to confirm Kavanaugh with a 50-48 vote, with one Republican sitting on the sidelines as a favor to a friend attending his daughter's wedding.

'They claim my allegations were ''not helpful to the process,'' she writes, calling out Republican Senators Susan Collins (center), Mitch McConnell (right) and and political pundit Chuck Todd (left) for criticizing her

She calls Senator Susan Collins' speech on Friday 'especially shameful and an attack on all sexual assault victims'.

'Some of the allegations levied against Judge Kavanaugh illustrate why the presumption of innocence is so important,' Collins said during her lengthy speech on the Senate floor where she announced her vote for Kavanaugh.

'I am thinking in particular not of the allegations raised by Professor Ford, but of the allegation that when he was a teenager, Judge Kavanaugh drugged multiple girls and used their weakened state to facilitate gang rape,' she said without specifically naming Swetnick.

Collins called her claims 'outlandish' and put forth 'without any credible supporting evidence'. Swetnick hit back saying Collins 'does not deserve to represent women.'

This particular comment has struck a chord with Democrats and political pundits, including Chuck Todd who said on Meet the Press: 'Michael Avenatti is probably the best thing to happen to Brett Kavanaugh. All these Democrats that have been flirting with him, they've got to really be embarrassed by him now.'

She says she is 'disgusted and appalled' by how senators handled investigation

Senator Gary Peters is now leading a pack of Democrats who believe Michael Avenatti ruined the case against Kavanaugh with Swetnick's claims.

'It turns it into a circus atmosphere and certainly that's not where we should be,' he said about the allegations raised by Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick, adding, 'at some point there were a lot of folks coming forward making all sorts of accusations'.

Swetnick ends her statement by calling for Americans to be 'outraged' by how she and the other Kavanaugh accusers were 'treated and shamed'.

'And remember- next time it might be your spouse, your daughter, your mother, your friend or your sister,' she writes. 'Would you want her to be treated the same way?'
