A Yale Law professor who was alleged to have told students applying for clerkships with Judge Brett Kavanaugh that he only hires attractive women now says she never made the comment.
Professor Amy Chua took to social media over the weekend to clear the air over a story that first appeared in the Guardian, around the same time Dr. Christine Blasey Ford alleged that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a house party more than 35 years ago.
The left-leaning publication claimed Chua would advise students that it was “not an accident” that Kavanaugh’s law clerks were all attractive women, and advised that applicants should “look like models” in order to get a clerkship in Kavanaugh’s chambers.
“Everything that is being said about the advice I give to students applying to Brett Kavanaugh — or any judge — is outrageous, 100% false, and the exact opposite of everything I have stood for and said for the last fifteen years,” Chua said in her statement Saturday.
“I advise students, male and female, to dress professionally — not too casually — and to avoid inappropriate clothing,” Chua added, referencing advice frequently given to law students applying for high-level clerkships. “I always try my best to be frank and transparent, and to hold students to the highest professional standard.”- READ MORE
[divider][/divider]An embattled Brett Kavanaugh on Monday said he won’t be “intimidated into withdrawing” his nomination to the Supreme Court, as he called accusations he sexually harassed and assaulted women decades ago while in high school and college “smears” in a new letter to top lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process,” Kavanaugh wrote in the letter. “The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last minute character assassination will not succeed.”
Kavanaugh, who intends to testify Thursday before the committee about the allegations along with the first accuser, has been hit with fresh but uncorroborated accusations.
“There is now a frenzy to come up with something—anything—that will block this process and a vote on my confirmation from occurring,” Kavanaugh wrote. “These are smears, pure and simple. And they debase our public discourse.” – READ MORE

Kavanaugh added he will not be driven “out of this process” in a Fox News Channel clip released on Monday.
“I’m not going to let false accusations drive us out of this process,” he said, sitting beside his wife as she nods. “We’re looking for a fair process where I can be heard, defending my integrity, my lifelong record … of promoting dignity and equality for women, starting with the women who knew me when I was 14 years old.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” he added.– READ MORE
