Patrick J. Smyth, named by Christine Blasey-Ford as having attended the 1982 party that she accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault is now denying he ever attended said party.
That “early ’80s party” where Christine Blasey-Ford claims Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her is becoming a big topic of debate. Brett Kavanaugh himself claims he didn’t attend the party that Blasey-Ford claims he sexually assaulted her at. Now, another classmate of Kavanaugh, who Blasey-Ford and the media also claimed to have been at that 1982 party says he was never there either.
Patrick J. Smyth, through his attorney sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee denying attending the party or having having any knowledge of the party.

Smyth, in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee sent by his attorney and obtained by the cable news network, denied having knowledge of any such party, claiming that Ford has identified him as being there, and saying, “I have never witnessed any improper conduct by Brett Kavanaugh towards women.” Instead, the letter from Smyth’s attorney praises Kavanaugh, saying that he knows “him to be a person of great integrity, a great friend.”
All involved were in high school at the time. Kavanaugh, Donald Trump’s nominee to the court, has adamantly denied the accusation by Ford, a registered Democrat who is a professor and researcher at Palo Alto University in California. Mark Judge, a Washington D.C.-based writer, previously outed himself as the Kavanaugh classmate whom Ford accuses of actually being in the room when she says Kavanaugh groped her and put his hand over her mouth before she escaped. She did not accuse Smyth of being in the room during the alleged attempted assault; his letter says she says he was at the party.
Kavanaugh adamantly denies the 36-year-old accusations. Judge has denied the accusations as well, with his lawyer telling the Senate Judiciary Committee that he doesn’t remember the alleged party and never saw Kavanaugh act the way that Ford has described.
