On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee referred lawyer Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick to the Justice Department for criminal investigation for “providing false statements, obstructing congressional investigations, and conspiracy” regarding salacious allegations against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Soon after the committee announced the move, NBC News published a damning report detailing “inconsistencies” in Avenatti and his clients’ claims. NBC revealed that an unnamed alleged corroborating witness repeatedly contradicted Avenatti’s assertions about her claims, ultimately telling NBC on October 5, “I will definitely talk to you again and no longer Avenatti. I do not like that he twisted my words.”
