While serious confusion remains about the scope of the FBI investigation into the allegations of sexual assault three women have made against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh throughout his confirmation process, increasing focus is being put on whether Kavanaugh was honest in his testimony under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week and in other public statements regarding his behavior during high school and college.

When asked during a “60 Minutes” interview that aired on Sunday night whether it would be disqualifying if it is determined that Kavanaugh lied in any way to the committee during his testimony, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.)—whose reluctance forced the GOP to concede to an FBI probe—responded simply, “Oh yes.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) sent a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Saturday declaring that in addition to investigating the sexual assault claims by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and Julie Swetnick—which Kavanaugh repeatedly has denied—the FBI “should also examine the veracity of his testimony.”

“I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.”
—Kavanaugh’s Yale classmateDespite Kavanaugh’s impassioned claims last Thursday that although he drank beer as a teenager and during college, he never consumed so much alcohol that he could not recall what happened and never harassed or assaulted anyone, North Carolina State University associate professor Charles Ludington, a classmate of his from Yale University, plans to tell the FBI that during college, Kavanaugh was “a frequent drinker, and a heavy drinker,” and when he drank, he often became “belligerent and aggressive.”

In a statement Ludington said he plans to deliver to the FBI on Monday, he says that Kavanaugh’s remarks to Fox News and the Judiciary Committee have been “a blatant mischaracterization by Brett himself of his drinking at Yale.” For example, Ludington says, “On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.”

While Ford and Swetnick’s allegations are from when they and Kavanaugh were high school students, Ramirez’s allegations are from when she and Kavanaugh both attended Yale. Ludington’s statement, which calls into question whether Kavanaugh was truthful about his drinking habits during those years, also says, “If he lied about his past actions on national television, and more especially while speaking under oath in front of the United States Senate, I believe those lies should have consequences.”

In a Politico op-ed published on Monday titled “Why the FBI Should Investigate Boofing,” Brian Fallon and Christopher Kang, co-founders of the progressive group Demand Justice, write that it is vital for the FBI to probe not only the allegations, but also the veracity of Kavanaugh’s remarks to the senators while under oath—including when lawmakers asked him to explain inside jokes and references from his high school yearbook.
