"…the one consistent theme was that the letter describes an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman while they were in high school. The woman is now being represented by Debra Katz, a whistleblower attorney who works with #MeToo survivors."

After several questions from @seungminkim & @mkraju, @SenFeinstein will release a statement this afternoon on a letter [possibly implicating Kavanaugh in a sexual harassment scandal from his youth] that was the subject of this Intercept report.

!!!! “I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. That individual strongly requested confidentiality...and I honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to the FBI.” -@SenFeinstein

The woman alleged that, during an encounter at a party, Kavanaugh held her down and attempted to force himself on her and that he and his Georgetown Prep classmate turned up music to conceal the sound of her protests.

The very moment the attempted rape allegation against Kavanaugh became public, Senate Judiciary Republicans released a list of 65 women who knew Kavanaugh in high school and claim "he behaved honorably, treated women with respect." @SenateGOP knew.

A teenage Kavanaugh and a male friend [Mark Judge] trapped a girl in a bedroom and tried to rape her, according to the letter. Of course Judge denies it, claiming he & Kavanaugh would never do that because they were raised in Catholic homes. Ahem.
