1 Great. Thank you, and I will get started

2 with o.ur questions.
3 Last week the Committee received additional
4 information to your background investigation file. So our
5 questions for you today are related to that information.
6 The Committee received a letter from an anonymous
7 source regarding alleged conduct by you from your time in
8 high school. Although the names are redacted from the
9 version the Committee received, since then we have come
lO to understand the name of the person who wrote this Jetter
11 is named Christine Ford. She made that public.
12 I understand that you have denied all conduct the·
r-.. 3 letter alleges, but we'd still like to ask you some follow~
14 up questions pertaining to the letter that we received.
15 Again, I understand these questions may be.
.J 6 uncomfortable to discuss_ , so we do appreciate yoy
17 discussing them with us and your candoL
18 Again, like in the last call We did, none of these are
19 meant to be accusatory. We're simply trying to gain
20 information today.
21 First, have you read the letter and are you familiar
2 2 with its contents?
23 JUDGEKAVANAUGH: I have.
24 Are you familiar with the Washington
2 5 Post article on this topic as well?

9 questions about. Christine Blasey Ford. I doh't know if I'm
1O saying th.at right. Do you know Dr. Fo.rd?

drcles. in hig.h st.ho.al.. ·1 recogn ize :the: name..
So do you recal.1 rnee~ing· her .or
kn:owing. her at all in hig·h school?'
l5 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: Again, we didn't travel in. the
16 sam.e ·c lrcl.es:, but I recall her name.
17 So you don't recall meeting her?
18 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: I don't reca:li meeting her,
19 that.'s corre.ct.
20 And you don't recall any interactions
21 with her s·pecifically?
22 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: T.h at'·s correct.
2.3 Do you know a.ri.Y m·e.mbers in her
24 family?

1 To the best of your knowledge, have

2 you ever attended a party where Dr. Ford was als·o at the
3 party?
4 JU-DGE KAVANAUGH.~ I can't rule out that we were.'at
5 the same party at som:e, point whete: the drcles,,.·.o ut social
6. drcles, would have overlapped.
7 Do you ever remember havihg
8 conversations wfth her at a party?
9 JUDGE KAVANA.UGH·:· I do not.
10 Do y.ou eve.r recaU haYin.g had :anv
1l physical encount.ers with Dr. Ford?
JUDGE KAVANAUGH: I did not.
All right. rd like to go through.just
14 some of her allegations so we have, your .q:nswe.rs dearly
l5 on· the· record. Have you ever· pushed Dr. ford in.to a

.•--.. I bedroom. with. DL. Ford?·

19 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: I do know him.
20 Can you clescribe your relationship
21 with him, both what it was like in the eighties and also

23 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: In high school, we were in a
24 class of about a hundred,. and we were friends; and kept
 9

l i.n touch for a while after high school occasio.naJly. But I

2 have not been in touch with him in several years,. putting
3 aside pote·ntial group ·e.mails that. ·membe-rs o'f my· hrgh
4 ~chool class might send out that wouid include both of us.
5 So you f~rst rrret Mr.Judge d.uri.n.g high
:G, school, is that correct?
7 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: I believe in the fall of 1:979. I
8 might have met him in eighth ·g rade when he·was at ou·r
·9 Lady of M.e rcy·,_I believe, and I was· at Mater Det
lO And the last ti.rite you recall speaking
tn: him was when?
JUDGE KAVANAUGH: I can't say for sure, b.u.t it's a
13 while ago. I wou.fd probably think a.couple of years.

14 When you were in high -s chool, how·
15 ·frequently --- or did you attenct social events, or were you
16 at the same $Qcial events together?
17 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: Yes ...

·6. Saturday night during the school year, where one peison
7 would have a party Where boys and girls ·would be, a·tid it
B was fairly typical.~ at l~ast for the hi~h s.c ho.ol culture of

24 Ridge, Holy Child, occa-~no.nally Vis-itation, lmmac~ l ata,
2 5 sometin:i-es Holy cr·oss. But, that said, I would imagine

2 wa.s fri.ends with a couple.

11 .Sorry. When you socialized with students
12 from the Holton Arms School, do you recall was it
.~\,.

3. throughout high ·school or was· it particular years?

14 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: I don't think I remember
15. -spe.cifics ·on that in terms-- of tenth., -eleventh, ·twe lfth
16 grade. 1·t'hink ninth grade·d id not involve as much
17- -socializing as happened in tenth .and eleventh~
1 8· .Okay~ Did you eve.r have a sexual
19 encounter with a ·Holton Arms .student?
20 JUDGE KAVAN_AUGH: I do not believe so. Bu.t I'd like

22 accurate. But I do· not believe so.as I sit here right now.
23 Thank you.
