Liz Swisher, a former Yale classmate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, has said she believes he lied under oath when testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
Speaking to CNN’s Chris Cuomo late Friday, Swisher said Kavanaugh’s claims of never engaging in out-of-control drinking were not accurate. “He drank heavily,” she said, calling him a “sloppy drunk.”
While Swisher said she had never witnessed any behavior that would lend credence to Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegation against him, she said the image he is presenting of himself as an avid church-goer and athlete who simply liked to have beer from time to time is not true. “I don’t buy it. That’s not the Brett I knew, as soon as I met him in college. It’s not the Brett I saw during four years at Yale.
