A man has now been forced to apologize for what he is calling "a mistake" after he
came out and accused Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh of se*xually assaulting
his friend.
The Daily Caller is reporting that according to interview transcripts released by the Senate
Judiciary Committee, this came about after the man called Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's
office last week and claimed that Kavanaugh and Mark Judge who was a close high school
friend of Kavanaugh, drunkenly s*exually assaulted one of his friends.
The committee investigator then proceeded to ask Judge Kavanaugh about the allegation
during a closed-door interview on Tuesday.
The judge denied the allegation.
The man's name was withheld from public transcripts but the investigator quoted several
outrageous anti-Trump tweets which came from the man's Twitter account.
This allowed reporters to identify him as "Jeffrey Catalan."
Do everyone who is going crazy about what | had said I have recanted because I have
made a mistake and apologize for such mistake
Dear Pentagon, Please save my country from the parasite that occupies the White house?
Our you waiting until Russians parachute in like in Red Dawn ? Please help!
His last tweet before he deleted his Twitter account read, "Do [sic] everyone who is
going crazy about what I had said I have recanted because I have made a mistake and apologize
for such mistake."
But this was not enough to get Chuck Grassley to not order an investigation.
today referred potential false statements alleging misconduct by Judge Kavanaugh to
federal law enforcement for criminal investigation after accuser recanted.
Here is the entire letter: September 29, 2018
VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION The Honorable Jeff Sessions
Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530
The Honorable Christopher A. Wray Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20535 Dear Attorney General Sessions and Director
Wray: As you know, the Senate Judiciary Committee
recently processed the nomination of Judge Brett
M. Kavanaugh to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court.
As part of that process, the Committee has been investigating various allegations
made against Judge Kavanaugh.
The Committee's investigation has involved communicating with
numerous individuals claiming to have relevant information.
While many of those individuals have acted in good faith in providing the Committee
information during the investigation, unfortunately it appears some have not.
As explained below, I write today respectfully referring Mr. for
investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 and 1505, for materially
false statements Mr. made to the Committee as part of
its investigation of allegations against Judge Kavanaugh.
According to Senator Whitehouse and his Committee staff, on the morning of September 24,
2018, Mr. contacted the Senator's office to report an allegation of se*xual misconduct
by Judge Kavanaugh.
Mr. claimed that in August of 1985, Judge Kavanaugh se*xually assaulted a close
acquaintance of Mr. on a boat in the harbor at Newport, Rhode Island.
Committee staff took Mr. 's allegation seriously, and asked Judge
Kavanaugh numerous questions about it under penalty of felony during an interview on September
25, 2018.
He categorically denied the allegation.
On September 26, 2018, the Committee publicly released a redacted transcript of that interview,
with Mr. 's name redacted.
Afterwards, at 7:51 pm that same evening, Mr. "recanted" and
apologized for his allegation via social media.
I have enclosed the relevant materials documenting these
facts.
Committee investigations in support of the judicial nomination process are an essential
part of the Committee's constitutional role.
The Committee is grateful to citizens who come forward with
relevant information in good faith, even if they are not one hundred percent sure about
what they know.
But when individuals provide fabricated allegations to the Committee, diverting Committee resources
Attorney General Sessions and Director Wray during time-sensitive investigations, it materially
impedes our work.
Such acts are not only unfair; they are potentially illegal.
It is illegal to make materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements to
Congressional investigators.
It is illegal to obstruct Committee investigations.
Accordingly, in light of the seriousness of these facts, and the threat these types of
actions pose to the Committee's ability to perform its
constitutional duties, I hope you will give this referral the utmost consideration.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
If you have any
