Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing Stormy Daniels, has announced that a third woman is prepared to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. Avenatti stated on MSNBC that the woman will come forward on Wednesday and could potentially bring criminal charges.
Avenatti described the woman as '100 per cent credible' and willing to take a polygraph test if Kavanaugh does the same. He claimed she previously worked for the U.S. Mint and the State Department, and has information about Kavanaugh and his childhood friend Mark Judge. The lawyer also said there would be 'many, many' corroborating witnesses.
During interviews on CNN and MSNBC, Avenatti challenged Kavanaugh's assertion that he was a virgin in high school. He questioned whether Kavanaugh's definition of virginity excluded other sexual activities. Avenatti also suggested that Kavanaugh's statements on Fox News were inconsistent with his past behaviour.
Kavanaugh has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct, stating in a Fox News interview that he 'always treated women with dignity and respect.' The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to consider the new claims as part of the confirmation process.
