NBC News Withheld Evidence Undermining Swetnick’s Credibility

NBC News learned in late September that a woman identified by Julie Swetnick as a witness to Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct denied ever having witnessed the misconduct, but failed to report that information until Wednesday evening. In preparation for an October 1 interview with Swetnick, NBC News contacted a woman she said could corroborate her allegation that Kavanaugh “spiked” the punch at numerous parties in high school in order to facilitate gang rapes. When contacted by NBC on September 30, the unidentified woman said she did not meet Swetnick until they were both adults, and denied ever having witnessed Kavanaugh “spike” anyone’s drink or act in an inappropriate manner toward anyone.
