US President Donald Trump’s embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, 53, has denied sexual assault accusations made against him.
Fifty-one-year-old psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her during a party in 1982 when they were high school students in suburban Maryland.
Kavanaugh, on Thursday, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he was “innocent” of sexually assaulting Ford.
“I swear today, under oath before the Senate and the nation, and before my family and God, I am innocent of this charge,” Kavanaugh told the Committee.
Kavanaugh complained during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill that the allegations against him dealt a heavy blow to him and his family.
