(Big League Politics) A woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of raping her has recanted her story completely.
BREAKING: This is quite a read. Woman who claimed Justice Kavanaugh raped her now admits theyve never even met. Shes been referred to DOJ/FBI for investigation and could soon be in serious legal trouble, Shannon Bream said Friday evening on Twitter.
A letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to FBI Director Christoper Wray and Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions reads:
I am once again writing regarding fabricated allegations the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary recently received. As you know, the Senate Judiciary Committee processed the nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States, leading to his eventual confirmation on October 6, 2018. As part of that process, the Committee has investigated various allegations made against Judge Kavanaugh. The Committees investigation has involved communicating with numerous individuals claiming to have relevant information. While many of those individuals have provided the Committee information in good faith, it unfortunately appears some have not. As explained below, I am writing to refer Ms. Judy Munro-Leighton for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 (materially false statements) and 1505 (obstruction), for materially false statements she made to the Committee during the course of the Committees investigation.
In referring Munro-Leighton for criminal investigation, Grassley implicates the office of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) for being complicit in the fabrication:
On September 25, 2018, staffers for Senator Harris, a Committee member, referred an undated handwritten letter to Committee investigators that her California office had received signed under the alias Jane Doe from Oceanside, California. The letter contained highly graphic sexual-assault accusations against Judge Kavanaugh. The anonymous accuser alleged that Justice Kavanaugh and a friend had raped her several times each in the backseat of a car. In addition to being from an anonymous accuser, the letter listed no return address, failed to provide any timeframe, and failed to provide any location beyond an automobile in which these alleged incidents took place.
Munro-Leighton would eventually contact Harris office to explain that she was Jane Doe. When she was eventually interviewed by the Committee on Nov. 1, she recanted her accusation.
Eventually, on November 1, 2018, Committee investigators connected with Ms. Munro-Leighton by phone and spoke with her about the sexual-assault allegations against Judge Kavanaugh she had made to the Committee. Under questioning by Committee investigators, Ms. Munro-Leighton admitted, contrary to her prior claims, that she had not been sexually assaulted by Judge Kavanaugh and was not the author of the original Jane Doe letter. When directly asked by Committee investigators if she was, as she had claimed, the Jane Doe from Oceanside California who had sent the letter to Senator Harris, she admitted: No, no, no. I did that as a way to grab attention. I am not Jane Doe . . . but I did read Jane Does letter. I read the transcript of the call to your Committee. . . . I saw it online. It was news.
According to Grassley, Munro-Leighton further admitted to pulling the stunt for attention, admitting that [it] was just a ploy.
This news is a bit of vindication for Kavanaugh, whose good name was dragged through the mud for partisan political purposes before he was finally confirmed to the nations highest court.
