The confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court becomes more uncertain following another allegation of sexual misconduct against him.
On Sunday, the New Yorker reported that Senate Democrats are investigating the new allegation against Kavanaugh. Deborah Ramirez, the accuser who attended Yale University with the Supreme Court nominee, claimed that the sexual assault happened during the 1983-84 academic school year.
Ramirez told the newspaper that Kavanaugh “exposed himself and thrust his penis in her face” during a drunken dormitory party. She is asking the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate the incident.
The report emerged just a few hours after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford agreed to testify at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday. Ford was the first to accuse the Supreme Court nominee of sexual misconduct.
She alleged that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, tried to remover her clothes and placed his hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming. The incident happened during a house party in Maryland in the 1980s, according to her.
