Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Former Kavanaugh Classmate Recalls 1985 Drunken Bar Fight

HeadlineOct 02, 2018

Meanwhile, a former classmate of Kavanaugh said Monday that he watched as a drunken Brett Kavanaugh got into a bar fight near the campus of Yale after the pair attended a reggae concert in 1985. This is Chad Ludington, speaking on CNN.

Chad Ludington: “Brett said, '[bleep] you,' or something to that effect, and threw the ice at the guy. And the guy, understandably, even though he had been aggressive in his response, found that was a little one step too far, so he took a swing at Brett, and then they were kind of, you know, two guys fighting.”

The FBI is investigating the 1985 bar fight, in which Kavanaugh was questioned by New Haven police but not arrested.
