The accuser Kavanaugh admits that she fabricated allegations as a "ploy" for "attention"

A woman who alleged charges against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh confessed to investigators that she had fabricated them to "attract attention".

Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley referred Judy Munro-Leighton to the Justice Department and the FBI for investigation of misrepresentations and potentially significant obstructions.

"The Committee thanks citizens who submit relevant information in good faith, even if they are not 100 per cent sure of what they know," Grassley wrote in his letter to the FBI director. Christopher Wray, and Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. "But when individuals deliberately mislead the Committee, they divert the resources of the Committee into urgent inquiries and hinder our work considerably."

On September 25, "Jane Doe" of Oceanside, California, sent an anonymous letter to Senator Kamala Harris, claiming that the then Supreme Court candidate and his friend had raped "several times each" at the back of a car. Details were rare, such as the timing and location of the alleged attack.

"It's all ridiculous," Kavanaugh said when the committee's investigators asked him questions about the allegation. "It's just a bribe, a joke, a mistake, has not arrived, nothing is near."

Later on October 3, Judy Munro-Leighton sent an e-mail to the committee claiming to be the "Jane Doe" of the letter and claiming that she "shared with you the story of the night Brett Kavanaugh and her friend had sexually assaulted and raped me in his car. "Calling it a vicious assault. "

The investigators located Munro-Leighton and lived in Kentucky, not California, and discovered that she was an older leftist activist than Judge Kavanaugh.

She confessed to the investigators that her story was a "tactic" and that "it was only a ploy".

"No no No, that's what I did to attract attention," she told the investigators, "I'm not Jane Doe … but I've read Jane Doe's letter.I read the transcript of the appeal to your committee … I saw it online.This was news. "

"I was angry and I sent her," she said about her email to the committee describing the allegations.

"Oh, no, no," she replied if she had ever met Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh was confirmed as Associate Judge at the Supreme Court on October 6. During her acrimonious confirmation process, several women were charged with sexual assault against her. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Judiciary Committee that Kavanaugh had lodged her against a bed and attempted to rape her at a party while they were both in high school.

However, several critical senators, including Democrat Joe Manchin and Republican Susan Collins, sealed the slim majority in favor of Kavanaugh by confirming it, citing the lack of hard evidence to support the charges against him.
