Julie Swetnick Calls Kavanaugh 'Mean Drunk' As 1985 Bar Brawl Details Emerge

Julie Swetnick, the third woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, spoke out Monday saying the judge behaved inappropriately at parties in the early 1980s. The interview came as the FBI reached out to the accusers and witnesses, including Kavanuagh's friend Mark Judge.

Swetnick, in an interview with NBC News, named four friends who she said went to the parties with her. She also said that it was only after Christine Blasey Ford came forward to allege Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her, she decided to speak out as well.

"He was very aggressive — very sloppy drunk, very mean drunk. 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 said in the interview.

In an earlier sworn affidavit, Swetnick had claimed Kavanaugh had engaged in systemic gang rapes decades ago. However, in an interview Monday with Fox News, her ex-boyfriend Richard Vinneccy said she never told him about her claims despite them having dated off-and-on from 1994 to 2001.

"Never, never once [did] she mention that to me," he told host Laura Ingraham. "We used to talk about everything. She never once mentioned that at all. ... If you ask me personally if I believe her, I don't believe her. I really don't believe her. Nobody knows Julie Swetnick better than me."

He added that while he was not aware of Swetnick's political tendencies, "she always wanted to be the center of attention... She was exaggerating everything. Everything that came out of her mouth was just exaggerations."

In an interview on CNN, also Monday night, Swetnick's lawyer Michael Avenatti raised doubts on Vinneccy's credibility and characterized him as an estranged ex-boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Mark Judge -- a high school friend of Kavanaugh accused of witnessing the alleged sexual assault of Ford -- was interviewed by the FBI, his lawyer said Monday.

Last week, Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill claiming Judge was in the same room as Kavanaugh when the latter allegedly pinned her down while at a high school party 36 years ago. In a letter to the committee after the hearing, Judge said: “I do not recall the events described by Dr. Ford in her testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee today. I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes.”

Kavanaugh has denied allegations against him by Ford, Swetnick and another accuser, Deborah Ramirez. He denied being in any party of the kind described by Ford during the hearing.

While the investigation into Ford's claims continues, a new report by the New York Times details an incident in the 1980s in which Kavanaugh reportedly threw his beer in a man’s face. The incident took place when Kavanaugh was a student at Yale University, a police report obtained by the Times read.

The news came as Kavanaugh’s past behavior, particularly his drinking habits, was being scrutinized amid the allegations of sexual misconduct.

According the police report, Kavanaugh's behavior at a bar in New Haven, Connecticut, after attending a UB40 concert with his friends, prompted a call to the police.

During the Senate hearing last week, Kavanaugh denied the allegations against him and downplayed his drinking habits. He denied drinking aggressively but also said that occasionally he had “too many beers.”

Meanwhile, on Monday night, the Harvard Crimson reported Kavanaugh would not return to teach at Harvard Law School.

“Today, Judge Kavanaugh indicated he can no longer commit to teaching his course in January Term 2019, so the course will not be offered,” Catherine Claypoole, associate dean and dean for academic and faculty affairs, wrote.
