The Senate Judiciary Committee released a 414-page report last Saturday in which members of the committee said they found no evidence to support allegations of sexual conduct against the Supreme Court judge. Brett Kavanaugh
Brett Michael KavanaughTrump calls Gillum "un-equipped" to be elected governor of Florida. Senate panel asks DOJ to investigate "fabricated allegation" against Kavanaugh Trump's immigration, lifting the arms of the Senate ahead of his confirmation.
"The committee investigators spoke with 45 people and collected 25 written statements about the various allegations made during the confirmation process of #SCOTUS," tweeted the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"Neither in the committee's investigation nor in the additional background investigation conducted by the FBI, there was NO evidence to substantiate or corroborate the allegations."

The investigators of the committee "found no verifiable evidence that corroborated" Christine Blasey Ford's allegation that Kavanaugh had bedridden her in the early 1980s and attempted to take her clothes off her while covering her mouth with one hand.
"Witnesses identified by Dr. Ford as likely to corroborate his allegations have not done so, and have even contradicted him," the report notes.
It is also stated that the investigators of the committee "found no verifiable evidence" in support of Deborah Ramirez's statement that Kavanaugh was allegedly exposed to her at a party while that they were both at Yale.
The report also rejects the allegations of Julie Swetnick, forwarded by lawyer Michael Avenatti.
"In fact, the evidence seems to corroborate the position that Julie Swetnick and Mr. Avenatti conspired in a criminal manner to make materially false statements to the committee and obstruct the inquiry of the committee," the report writes.
Both Avenatti and Swetnick were referred to the Department of Justice for a possible criminal investigation into their behavior during Kavanaugh's confirmation process. Avenatti was referred a second time.
In addition, the report indicates that investigators were also unable to find evidence in support of various anonymous charges against Kavanaugh, noting that one of the accusers had been referred for a criminal investigation.
Kavanaugh passionately denied all charges against him and was finally confirmed after a brutal confirmation bout on Oct. 6 by a vote well within party lines.
