Former classmate of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh tried to fire US senators and the FBI last year on another allegation of sexual misconduct ever reported, the New York Times reported on Saturday.

According to the newspaper, a former Yale student, Max Stier, would have seen Kavanaugh during an intoxicated evening during which his friends pushed his penis into the hands of a student. Kavanaugh would have been a freshman at the time.

Stier refused to discuss the allegation with The Times, but reporters confirmed they corroborated the story details with two officials who had talked to Stier about it.

According to the Times' report, it is unclear whether Stier knew who this student was and whether she had verified that the incident had occurred as Stier had described it.

Stier's story is similar to an allegation by Deborah Ramirez, another classmate of Yale, who accused Kavanaugh of dropping his pants and pushing his penis in the face at another party.

The FBI has not investigated Stier's claims, the Times reported.

Although the FBI interviewed Ramirez in September 2018, he did not interview some 25 people identified by Ramirez as potentially likely to have corroborating evidence for his allegations, according to the Times.

The paper added that many potential witnesses on Ramirez's list had unsuccessfully tried to contact the FBI.

Kavanaugh was confirmed in the Supreme Court last October after a grudging battle over multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
