Sen. Cory Gardner Reveals Anonymous 4th Kavanaugh Accuser

WASHINGTON, DC – The mother of a second Colorado woman sent an anonymous letter to the offices of Senator Cory Gardner alleging sexual misconduct by Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh in 1988 when he worked with independent counsel Ken Starr, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard today.

In a the transcript released Wednesday, an anonymous letter was read to Kavanaugh alleging that he had pushed a woman against a wall in an aggressive and sexual way after drinking in a Washington DC bar.

Investigators read the following letter from the mother of the woman, who, like accuser Debbie Martinez, is from Boulder.

"I will remain anonymous, but I feel obligated to inform you of this 1998 incident involving Brett Kavanaugh," the letter said. The woman said while Kavanaugh was helping to author the Starr Report, alleging President Bill Clinton's affairs with intern Monica Lewinsky, the author's daughter from Boulder, Colorado, "occasionally socialized with Brett Kavanaugh." She and a group of four, including Kavanaugh, met in a Washington, D.C., bar, the letter said.

"Her friend was dating him, and they left the bar under the influence of alcohol. They were all shocked when Brett Kavanaugh shoved her friend up against the wall very aggressively and sexually. There were at least four witnesses, including my daughter. Her friend, still traumatized, called my daughter yesterday, September 21, 2018, wondering what to do about it. They decided to remain anonymous."

In the transcript, Kavanaugh vigorously denied the accusations.

"[W]e're dealing with an anonymous letter about an anonymous person and an anonymous friend. It's ridiculous. Total twilight zone. And no, I've never done anything like that," Kavanaugh told the committee. "...I think this is -- this is crazy town. It's a smear campaign.... [I]t's just outrageous. It's trying to take me down, trying to take down my family... It's bad -- it's doing damage It's doing damage to the country."

Gardner told the Denver Post that the anonymous letter arrived at the senator’s Denver office Saturday "without any contact information, names or return address."

“Upon receiving the anonymous letter, we immediately notified the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is handling the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh. The letter was shared with both Republican staff and Democrat staff,” Gardner’s office said in a statement.
