Marc Kasowitz, a personal attorney for President Donald Trump, threw cold water on Sen. Kamala Harris's questioning of Brett Kavanaugh, denying he had any contact with his firm, Kasowitz, Benson, Torres LLP.
"There have been no discussions regarding Robert Mueller's investigation between Judge Kavanaugh and anyone at our firm," a spokesman for Kasowitz said in a statement first provided to CNBC on Thursday.
Harris, D-Calif., had grilled Kavanaugh on Wednesday about whether he had any contact with member's of Kasowitz firm regarding Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian operatives during the 2016 presidential election. Kavanaugh appeared confused during the late-night questioning.
Harris aides Wednesday evening had told CNBC on the condition of anonymity that they had "reason to believe that a conversation happened and are continuing to pursue it."
Kavanaugh himself addressed the issue again Thursday morning. "I don't recall any conversations of that kind with anyone at that law firm," he said during his hearing.
Harris' office did not return requests for comment on Kasowitz's new statement.
