The feds have wrapped up their interview of a high school drinking buddy of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as part of their probe into sexual assault allegations against him.
Barbara Van Gelder, the lawyer for Mark Judge, who was reportedly in the room when a drunken Kavanaugh allegedly assaulted Christine Blasey Ford in 1982, told CNN on Tuesday that the interview was finished.
Judge, an admitted former alcoholic and classmate of Kavanaugh’s at the prestigious, Jesuit-run Georgetown Prep in suburban Maryland, had earlier said he didn’t remember the party or the incident, and had been hiding out in Delaware.
Another classmate, Patrick “PJ” Smyth, was also interviewed and has fully cooperated with the FBI as it investigates Ford’s accusation that President Trump’s nominee for the high court forced her onto a bed, groped her and tried to remove her clothes before she was able to escape.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday the upper chamber would vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination this week regardless of what if anything the FBI investigation uncovers.
But with a slim 51-49 majority, the Kentucky senator can’t afford to lose more than two votes, and several GOP senators, including Arizona’s Jeff Flake, Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski and Maine’s Susan Collins, remain on the fence.
