Over the weekend Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released a 414-page report detailing allegations made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.
The report not only found that all of the accusations failed to include evidence or merit, but shows infamous porn lawyer Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnik criminally conspired to take down Kavanaugh's nomination.
"The evidence appears to support the position that Julie Swetnick and Mr. Avenatti criminally conspired to make materially false statements to the Committee and obstruct the Committee’s investigation. Accordingly, the Committee referred both to the Department of Justice and FBI for investigation and potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 371, § 1001, and § 1505 on October 25, 2018," the report states. "In addition, on October 26, 2018, the Committee made a second criminal referral against Michael Avenatti to the Justice Department and FBI for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 (knowingly providing materially false statements) and 1505 (obstruction of a congressional investigation), based upon the NBC story that evidenced that Mr. Avenatti may have fabricated allegations by a second declarant."
Swetnik originally accused Kavanaugh of gang rape at a high school party. During an interview with NBC news, she changed her story.
Avenatti is hitting back against the charges of conspiracy.
.@realDonaldTrump - my client Ms. Swetnick and I are still waiting on the supposed "criminal investigation" that Chuck "I Never Went to Law School" Grassley demanded. I have only heard from the FBI once - to tell me I was a target of your MAGA bomber. You are a complete fraud. https://t.co/W8YMmbCXgp
