WRONG

FACT: Judge Kavanaugh Did NOT Leak Information From the Starr Investigation

 

MYTH:

SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE (D-RI): “Now, let's look at where you fit in. A Republican political operative your whole career who's never tried a case. You made your political bones helping the salacious prosecution of President Clinton, and leaking prosecution information to the press.” (U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing, 9/04/2018)

 

FACT:

“An investigation into alleged leaks to the press from the office of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr in the 1990s makes no reference to any role played by his one-time associate, Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh.” (“Kavanaugh Is Not Mentioned In Once-Secret Report On Press Leaks,” The Washington Post, 8/23/2018)
