Breaking news via Michael Avenatti where he just tweeted the name and photograph of his client who he claims has new allegations against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh:
Here is a picture of my client Julie Swetnick. She is courageous, brave and honest. We ask that her privacy and that of her family be respected. pic.twitter.com/auuSeHm5s0

Avenatti also posted a sworn deposition from Ms. Swetnick and he’s calling for an immediate FBI investigation:
Below is my correspondence to Mr. Davis of moments ago, together with a sworn declaration from my client. We demand an immediate FBI investigation into the allegations. Under no circumstances should Brett Kavanaugh be confirmed absent a full and complete investigation. pic.twitter.com/QHbHBbbfbE

Update: Screenshots of the 3-page deposition:
Update 2: This is the TL;DR version:
Avenatti's client Julie Swetnick says she attended parties in the early 1980s with Kavanaugh and Mark Judge, where she believes they spiked the punch to sexually assault girls.
She says she was gang raped at a 1982 party where Kavanaugh and Judge were present. https://t.co/ceotlfm6Xg

Update 3:
I have no idea if Julie Swetnick is telling the truth. I can say this: submitting a sworn affidavit carries with it criminal liability if she perjured herself.
Also, as a clearance holder, giving perjured statements would be a career-ender. Take that for what it's worth.
