Brett Kavanaugh's roommate claims that the Supreme Court nominee lied under oath







The roommate at Brett Kavanaugh University, a potential key witness in a background check for the Supreme Court nominee, says he is concerned that FBI agents have not contacted him to corroborate decades of accusations against the judge, who claims to have lied under oath about their consumption.

"If they wanted to talk about Brett's college background, they would have talked to the roommate at Brett's college and they did not," James Roche told ABC News in an interview on Thursday. "If I wanted to understand the facts, I would look for people who had first-hand information and would try to determine what they know and what they did not know, and that has not happened."



Roche, who was a roommate with Kavanaugh during his freshman year at Yale University, said Kavanaugh was "relatively quiet and studious most of the time" but he drank a lot, sometimes to the point of "getting angry" and he was "belligerent".



"It was unpleasant to be around," Roche told ABC News. "Brett stood out for his drinking, people drank a lot, I drank a lot then, but Brett's drink was unusual."

Kavanaugh appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee last Thursday to answer questions about an alleged sexual assault since the eighties. Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology professor at Palo Alto University and a research psychologist at Stanford University in California, says Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a party in the suburbs of Maryland when they were teenagers. Both Kavanaugh and Ford testified under oath.



Kavanaugh has vehemently denied the accusation. The judge also told the senators that he has never abstained from drinking, which Roche says is not true.



"Having someone standing in front of everyone under oath and saying things they know are not true," Roche told ABC News, "I found it shocking."



"Many, many people saw what I saw, I do not know why they do not talk about it," he added. "I do not know why they do not mind the fact that he is able to defend himself and say things that we all knew were not true."



Roche said she believes her friend Deborah Ramirez, who accused Kavanaugh of exposing herself to her at a drunken party when they both attended Yale.



"I believe in Debbie because I know her," he said. "I thought that Dr. Ford's testimony was very convincing, but I do not know it."

At the behest of the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Donald Trump ordered the FBI to investigate any allegations against Kavanaugh after the hearing with an emotional charge. The White House specifically requested the FBI to interview four people: Mark Judge and P.J. Smyth, friends from Kavanaugh high school; Leland Keyser, who Ford claimed was at the party where the alleged incident occurred; and Ramírez, whose attorneys provided a list of more than 20 additional witnesses to interview.



The FBI investigation, which was limited in time and scope, ended Wednesday night and was turned over to the White House, according to a statement by White House press secretary Raj Shah.



Ford lawyers told ABC News that they have not been in contact with FBI agents despite multiple requests. The FBI also failed to contact Julie Swetnick, another woman who accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct during her high school years.



"An FBI supplemental background investigation that did not include an interview with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, or the witnesses who corroborate her testimony, can not be considered an investigation," the attorneys said. "We are deeply disappointed that after the tremendous sacrifice he made in presenting himself, those who directed the FBI investigation were not interested in seeking the truth."



The Senate is moving forward with Kavanaugh's confirmation and a vote is expected on Saturday.
