Bombshell: Mutual Friends of Kavanaugh, Ramirez Have Text Messages Suggesting…
Two mutual friends of Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Deborah Ramirez from Yale, Kerry Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, have damning text messages, NBC News reported. According to Berchem, Kavanaugh and his team were texting her asking her to refute Ramirez’s sexual assault allegations before her allegations were published in The New Yorker piece.
From NBC News:
The texts between Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, both friends of Kavanaugh, suggest that the nominee was personally talking with former classmates about Ramirez’s story in advance of the New Yorker article that made her allegation public. In one message, Yarasavage said Kavanaugh asked her to go on the record in his defense. Two other messages show communication between Kavanaugh’s team and former classmates in advance of the story.
The texts also demonstrate that Kavanaugh and Ramirez were more socially connected than previously understood and that Ramirez was uncomfortable around Kavanaugh when they saw each other at a wedding 10 years after they graduated. Berchem’s efforts also show that some potential witnesses have been unable to get important information to the FBI.
Berchem contacted the FBI on Sunday night to hand the text messages over as part of their investigation into Ramirez’s allegations. When she failed to receive a response from the bureau, she typed up a memo and included texts that she thought were most relevant.
