The New York Times updated its story reporting a new assault allegation against Brett Kavanaugh to clarify that the woman at the center of the incident does not recall it
One year later, the Kavanaugh controversy still rages. Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images On Sunday, the New York Times updated its story reporting a new assault allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, which had drawn widespread attention, to clarify that the woman at the center of the incident does not recall it.
That clarification put already substantial right-wing backlash to the story into overdrive, with many conservative defenders of Kavanaugh — most prominent among them President Trump — alleging journalistic malpractice or worse. The story also includes new details about Deborah Ramirez, who last year alleged that Kavanaugh thrust his penis in her face at a party during their time together at Yale. The Times reports that at least seven people, including Ramirez’s mother, heard about the incident shortly after it occurred, but that the FBI, in its seemingly perfunctory investigation of Kavanaugh’s past conduct just before his confirmation vote, did not talk to any of them.
