The man accused of being in the room when then-high-school buddy Brett Kavanaugh attacked a teenage girl said Tuesday that he has “no memory’ of this alleged incident and doesn’t want to appear before a Senate panel to answer questions about it.
“Brett Kavanaugh and I were friends in high school but I do not recall the party described in Dr. Ford’s letter,’’ Mark Judge said in a letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee by his lawyer, referring to the US Supreme Court nominee’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.
“More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes,” Judge said.
“I have no more information to offer the committee and I do not wish to speak publicly regarding the incidents described in Dr. Ford’s letter.’’
Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Tuesday that the only two people who would testify at any hearing were Kavanaugh and Ford — immediately setting off a firestorm among Dems.
Democrats were incredulous that someone like Judge — who Ford says watched and laughed as a drunken Kavanaugh nearly raped her more than 30 years ago — wouldn’t be called before the panel.
“How could we want to get the truth and not have Mr. Judge come to the hearing?” Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said.
Judge’s letter reiterated what he told The Weekly Standard last week: “It’s just absolutely nuts. I never saw Brett act that way.’’
