Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, the New York Times journalists who co-authored a new book on Brett Kavanaugh and have come under fire for apparent anti-Kavanaugh bias, are receiving yet more blowback over an adapted passage of their book, this time published by The Atlantic.

In the piece — which, like their much-maligned New York Times piece, is based on an excerpt from their new book — Pogrebin and Kelly claim that potential witnesses to an alleged incident at a party at Yale involving Kavanaugh and accuser Deborah Ramirez remained “mum” on the allegation. But as pointed out by The Federalist’s Molly Hemingway who co-authored her own Kavanaugh book, that’s simply not true. Some of the named witnesses have gone on the record to address the allegation — and defended Kavanaugh. The “major error,” notes Hemingway, is now the second such error in an excerpt from the Times reporters that has ended up burying exculpatory evidence.
