The lawyer for another woman who is accusing President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, of sexual misconduct said Wednesday he had submitted her sworn statement to the Senate’s judiciary committee.
Lawyer Michael Avenatti identified his client on Twitter and also posted an email to the committee, as well as what he said was a sworn declaration from the woman outlining her allegations against Kavanaugh involving incidents in the 1980s.
Reuters was not immediately able to verify the substance of the woman’s allegation.
The allegations from the woman, identified as Julie Swetnick, come on the eve of a special session of the judiciary committee, in which both Kavanaugh and another accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, will appear separately.
Blasey Ford, who accuses Kavanaugh of sexual assault, has given the committee sworn statements from four people who said she confided in them about the alleged 1982 incident, in some cases years before she came forward publicly.
Kavanaugh has denied the accusations of Blasey Ford and another woman, Deborah Ramirez, whose allegations of sexual misconduct were reported earlier this week by The New Yorker.
