The lawyer for the latest woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct issued a warning Wednesday to those looking to discredit her.
“My client has been issued a number of security clearances by the federal government over the years. She has been fully vetted time and time again, and she is an honest and courageous woman,” lawyer Michael Avenatti told MSNBC after releasing client Julie Swetnick’s sworn declaration containing the scathing allegations against the embattled US Supreme Court nominee.
Avenatti, who also represents porn star Stormy Daniels in her defamation lawsuit against President Trump, added, “And I’m going to caution Donald Trump, Brett Kavanagh, [Republican Senate Judiciary Committee] Chairman [Chuck] Grassley and others, if they try to come after my client or engage in some smear campaign, they better pack a lunch because we’re going to respond two-fold.
“We are going to respond double as it relates to force. So they better be very careful before they start spewing nonsense and trying to call my client a liar,” the lawyer said.
Swetnick, 55, claims Kavanaugh was present at a party where she was gang-raped after her drink was spiked.
She accuses the federal appeals judge and his pal Mark Judge of spiking the punch with drugs and booze “to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be ‘gang raped’ in a side bedroom or bedroom by a ‘train’ of numerous boys” at house parties in the early 1980s.
Both Kavanaugh and Judge vehemently deny her allegations.
