Attorney Michael Avenatti created even more buzz on Sunday regarding allegations of sexual assault against judge Brett Kavanaugh after not only tweeting that he has a client with “credible information” on President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee and his high school friend Mark Judge, but that these men targeted women to “allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them.”
“I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge,” he wrote earlier on Sunday. “We will be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee and will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify.
“The nomination must be withdrawn,” he added.

In an email with Mike Davis, the chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee, Avenatti explained in more detail the gang rape accusation against Kavanaugh.
Sharing a screen shot of the exchange, Avenatti said he is “aware of significant evidence of multiple house parties in the Washington, D.C. area during the early 1980s, during which Brett Kavanagh, Mark Judge and others would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them.”
He continued: "There are multiple witnesses that will corroborate these facts and each of them must be called to testify publicly.”
My e-mail of moments ago with Mike Davis, Chief Counsel for Nominations for U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary. We demand that this process be thorough, open and fair, which is what the American public deserves. It must not be rushed and evidence/witnesses must not be hidden. pic.twitter.com/11XLZJBTtY

Here are subsequent emails between me and Mr. Davis. It appears that (1) the Committee has an issue with this process being public and (2) the Committee wants to avoid Mr. Judge testifying or even requesting that he testify. Both are absolute necessities. pic.twitter.com/jiwtFFGbJd

The lawyer, who also represents Stormy Daniels, went on to list several questions he believed the Senate should ask Kavanaugh “without delay and provide the answers to the American people.”
He also believed Kavanaugh should be asked about the "FFFFFFFourth of July," which he wrote in his high school yearbook.
“We believe that this stands for: Find them, French them, Feel them, Finger them, F*ck them, Forget them. As well as the term "Devil's Triangle." Perhaps Sen. Grassley can ask him,” Avenatti tweeted.

Avenatti’s tweets came at the same time as a report in The New Yorker detailing another allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh from his time as a freshman at Yale. That woman, identified as Deborah Ramirez, is not Avenatti’s client, he explained.
Kavanaugh has denied the claim, calling it a “smear.”
"This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen. The people who knew me then know that this did not happen, and have said so," Kavanaugh responded. "This is a smear, plain and simple. I look forward to testifying on Thursday about the truth, and defending my good name—and the reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime building—against these last-minute allegations."
