Two of Kavanaugh’s Ex-Girlfriends Defend His Character

Two women who dated Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and who knew him in high school issued statements defending his character in response to an accusation of sexual misconduct.

Maura Fitzgerald, who dated Kavanaugh in college, said she and Kavanaugh have been good friends since high school. "I dated him in college and he was and is nothing like the person who has been described. He always conducted himself honorably with me at all times when we were together. He was always a perfect gentleman, and I vouch for him completely," Fitzgerald wrote.

A girlfriend from high school, Maura Kane, said she has been friends with Kavanaugh for over 30 years. "I’ve been friends with Brett Kavanaugh for over 35 years, and dated him during high school. In every situation where we were together he always respectful, kind and thoughtful," Kane wrote.

"The accusations leveled against him in no way represent the decent young man I knew," she added. "We remain good friends and I admire him as a husband, father and professional."
