NEW HAVEN As an undergraduate student at Yale, Brett M. Kavanaugh was involved in an altercation at a local bar during which he was accused of throwing ice on another patron, according to a police report.

The incident, which occurred in September 1985 during Mr. Kavanaughs junior year, resulted in Mr. Kavanaugh and four other men being questioned by the New Haven Police Department. Mr. Kavanaugh was not arrested, but the police report stated that a 21-year-old man accused Mr. Kavanaugh of throwing ice on him for some unknown reason.

A witness to the fight said that Chris Dudley, a Yale basketball player who is friends with Mr. Kavanaugh, then threw a glass that hit the 21-year-old man in the ear, according to the police report, which was obtained by The New York Times.

The report said that the victim, Dom Cozzolino, was bleeding from the right ear and was treated at a hospital. A detective was notified of the incident at 1:20 a.m.

Mr. Dudley denied the accusation, according to the report. For his part, speaking to the officers, Mr. Kavanaugh did not want to say if he threw the ice or not, the police report said.

The report referred to the altercation, which occurred at a bar called Demerys, as an assault. It did not say whether anyone was arrested, and there is no indication that charges were filed.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday. Mr. Dudley did not respond to phone and email messages. Reached by text message, Mr. Cozzolino declined to comment.

he outlines of the incident were first referred to in a statement issued on Sunday by Chad Ludington, one of Judge Kavanaughs college classmates and a member of the Yale basketball team.

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 mans face, Mr. Ludington said in the statement. Mr. Ludington, a professor at North Carolina State University, said he came forward because he believed Judge Kavanaugh had mischaracterized the extent of his drinking at Yale.

Mr. Ludington said that he had been in touch with the F.B.I.

He said that the altercation happened after a UB40 concert on Sept. 25, when he and a group of people went to Demerys and were drinking pints. At one point, they were sitting near a man who, they thought, resembled Ali Campbell, the lead singer of UB40.

Were trying to figure out if its him, he said.

When the man noticed Mr. Ludington, Mr. Kavanaugh and the others looking at him, he objected and told them to stop it, adding an expletive, Mr. Ludington said.

Mr. Kavanaugh cursed, he said, and then threw his beer at the guy.

The guy swung at Brett, Mr. Ludington continued. At that point, Mr. Dudley took his beer and smashed it into the head of the guy, who by now had Brett in an embrace. I then tried to pull Chris back, and a bunch of other guys tried to pull the other guy back. I dont know what Brett was doing in the melee, but there was blood, there was glass, there was beer and there was some shouting, and the police showed up.

Demerys, which closed in 1994, was a well-known bar that served big slices of pizza and cheap beer, especially after 9 p.m. It drew a crowd that included older Yalies and younger ones with good fake IDs, according to thepolitic.org.

Mr. Dudley, who after Yale went on to the N.B.A. and was the Republican nominee for governor of Oregon in 2010, has spoken out in support of Judge Kavanaughs Supreme Court nomination and disputed reports that he drank excessively.

Several Yale classmates, including a former roommate and Mr. Ludington, have described Judge Kavanaugh as sometimes aggressive when he was drinking.

I would assume that an FBI background check involves checking public record for police reports involving the person in question.

I would assume that because that's literally the easiest part of an FBI background check. Of which he's had 5 of.

Wait, did he have a fake id?


From what I can tell, it probably wouldn't have been necessary. Kavanaugh was 20 in 1985, and while Connecticut raised the drinking age from 20 to 21 that year, they had a grandfather clause for people who were already 20.

It wasn't as strict in the 80s as it is today. He could have been let in without needing a fake, or maybe he had one.

Either way of course it's not right for someone who's trying to be a SC judge.

And yeah, being born in February of 1965, he was only 20, just a few months shy of 21.

Also in 1985, the drinking age was raised from 19 to 21, so it's very feasible there were many hold-out bars and states to adopt the new age.

But that also means Kavanaugh was legally allowed to drink in 1984, so he was one of the rare few who was legally allowed to drink up until they made the change to 21.

I'm curious because they've clearly never cared about his past, despite working with the Bush administration in a known manner, and apparently courting some controversy at the time, yet it's only now an issue that he was involved in a bar fight 33 years ago.

looks bad imo

not as bad as this though: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna915566
Text messages suggest Kavanaugh wanted to refute accuser's claim before it became public which means he lied under testimony. Essentially, "I know what I did, you know what I did, so here's what I want you to say if what I did becomes public knowledge."

Yeah they're really reaching now. A week ago all the liberals here were saying "he's a violent rapist monster" now after Rachel Mitchell released her report stating that the evidence did not support Dr. Ford's testimony, this is the level they've sunk to. It's pathetic.

If your definition of paraphrasing is literally making shit up

In the days leading up to a public allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to a college classmate, the judge and his team were communicating behind the scenes with friends to refute the claim, according to text messages obtained by NBC News.

The texts between Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, both friends of Kavanaugh, suggest that the nominee was personally talking with former classmates about Ramirezs 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.

I mean, you can read between the lines or put your fingers in your ear

not to mention that he lied in the hearing
Further, the texts show Kavanaugh may need to be questioned about how far back he anticipated that Ramirez would air allegations against him. Berchem says in her memo that Kavanaugh and/or his friends may have initiated an anticipatory narrative as early as July to conceal or discredit Ramirez.

Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee under oath that the first time he heard of Ramirezs allegation was in the Sept. 23 article in The New Yorker.

Kavanaugh was asked by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, when he first heard of Ramirezs allegations. Kavanaugh answered: In the New Yorker story.


so even if you want to say I'm completely off base and reading into something that's not, it still looks like perjury

I think if you take the person who spent the whole hearing building his defense as "I don't have a drinking problem" and then put together a bunch of vignettes of negative situations involving him and alcohol, it lends credence to the idea that he was lying.

I'm also smart enough to realize that finding some stories about how a college kid drank in college doesn't make him an attempted rapist, and that the purpose of this current line of inquiry is to try and claim he lied about how much he drank while being accused of rape to disqualify him on a technicality because they can't prove he raped anyone.

You're smart enough to recognize that.

This is full "stop him by any means necessary" behavior.

Because being a drunken frat boy really isn't a big deal. Although it does make him dishonest, which is at least something.

Although after the Otto Warmbier thing, you'd think the "spoiled white privilege" thing would take a rest for a bit

Nobody mentioned white privilege before you did, and I haven't heard anyone on CE bring it up at all

Perjury is a serious crime especially when directed at Congress. You simultaneously think that it's bad and not a big deal if he's a liar

You still try to link this to Ford's testimony even though I'm pretty sure the FBI hasn't even interviewed her and this story is completely independent of her
