Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Monday said he is willing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee against a woman's charge that he sexually assaulted her in high school.

Kavanaugh in a new statement called the woman's accusation a "completely false allegation."

“This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes—to her or to anyone," Kavanaugh said. "Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday."

The federal judge said he would speak to the Judiciary panel "in any way the committee deems appropriate" in order to "defend my integrity."

Kavanaugh was spotted by television cameras walking to the White House shortly before his statement was released.
