Full video: Judge Brett Kavanaugh and His Wife, Ashley Kavanaugh deny allegations during Martha MacCallum interview
Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his wife, Ashley, sat down with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum Monday for an interview that aired on her Fox News program, The Story, Monday night in the 7 p.m. hour.
Kavanaugh addressed the allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford, who accused the judge of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers in the early 1980s. “The truth is I never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or otherwise,” Kavanaugh told MacCallum.
“I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter, and the girls from the schools I went to and I were friends,” he added. “So you’re saying through all these years that are in question that you were a virgin?” MacCallum asked to clarify. “That’s correct,” Kavanaugh answered.
MacCallum also asked Kavanaugh about the new report in The New Yorker on an allegation from Deborah Ramirez. “I never did any such thing,” Kavanaugh responded. “The other people alleged to be there don’t recall any such thing. If such a thing had happened, it would’ve been the talk of campus. The women I knew in college and the men I knew in college said that it’s unconceivable that I could’ve done such a thing.”
The New Yorker faced tough questions Monday about its report. Throughout Monday, TV interviewers pressed Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer, the authors of the piece, on the Sunday night story’s disclosure that Ramirez acknowledged holes in her memory of a dorm party she said occurred in Kavanaugh’s freshman year at Yale. The pair also faced questions over their lack of corroborating eye-witnesses to support Ramirez’s recollection.
