Kavanaugh denies sexual assault claims

U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh declared in a televised interview that he never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or at any other time in his life and didn’t even attend a party where one accuser said he assaulted her.

Mr. Kavanaugh and his wife, Ashley, sat down for an interview with Fox News Channel’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum” after a second woman accused him of sexual misconduct.

The first accuser, California college professor Christine Blasey Ford, has said he assaulted her at a party decades ago when they were teenagers. Mr. Kavanaugh denied he was “at any such party”.

The second woman, Colorado resident Deborah Ramirez, has accused him of exposing himself to her at a Yale University dormitory party. Mr. Kavanaugh said: “I never did any such thing... If such a thing had happened, it would have been the talk of campus.”
