President Donald Trump fired back at Michael Avenatti and his client’s latest allegation of decades-old sexual assault allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh in a Wednesday tweet.
Avenatti is a third rate lawyer who is good at making false accusations, like he did on me and like he is now doing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He is just looking for attention and doesn’t want people to look at his past record and relationships – a total low-life!

Trump’s tweet follows Kavanaugh’s statement of denial, which reads, “This is ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone. I don’t know who this is, and this never happened.”
Avenatti released his client’s claim on Twitter Wednesday, saying:
Below is my correspondence to Mr. Davis of moments ago, together with a sworn declaration from my client. We demand an immediate FBI investigation into the allegations. Under no circumstances should Brett Kavanaugh be confirmed absent a full and complete investigation. pic.twitter.com/QHbHBbbfbE

Avenatti’s client, Julie Swetnick, alleges that Kavanaugh and his high school associate Mark Judge were involved in sexually debauched parties and were “present” during her gang rape. The Judiciary committee is now investigating Swetnick’s allegation.
Kavanaugh will testify before the committee Thursday about allegations made against him by Swetnick, Deborah Ramirez and Dr. Christine Ford. He will testify, “There has been a frenzy to come up with something — anything, no matter how far-fetched or odious — that will block a vote on my nomination. These are last-minute smears, pure and simple.”
“The truth is that I have never sexually assaulted anyone—not in high school, not in college, not ever,” Kavanaugh has stated.
