President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh said Monday that he is willing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee once again in order to "refute" an allegation of sexual misconduct against him.
"This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes—to her or anyone," Kavanaugh, 53, said in a statement.
On Sunday, California professor Christine Blasey Ford, 51, came forward publicly to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were both teenagers.
She had originally requested anonymity in a letter she sent to California Rep. Anna Eshoo detailing the allegation. Eshoo passed Ford's letter to Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. Feinstein referred the letter to federal investigators.
