In its report on its findings regarding the sexual misconduct allegations against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the Senate Judiciary Committee details the evidence that prompted the committee to refer accuser Julie Swetnick and her attorney Michael Avenatti to the Justice Department for review for “potential violations of Senate rules, potential witness tampering, and potential false statements made to the Committee in violation of federal law.”
In the committee’s summary of its findings released November 2, it states that after an exhaustive review — including over 40 interviews and 25 written statements from potential witnesses — it did not find “any evidence to substantiate or corroborate any of the allegations” against Kavanaugh. It did, however, find evidence that some of Kavanaugh’s accusers potentially broke federal law. One of those accusers was Judy Munro-Leighton, who later admitted to having fabricated allegations against Kavanaugh for what she described as an attempt to “get attention.”
