this is deborah ramirez. because after what you just talked about and this very frustrating experience with the fbi, you talked to a lot of people who are bitter and angry about the way this investigation went and didn't include them. she says, you can't look at justice as just the confirmation vote. deborah ramirez said. there is so much good that came out of it. there is much more good to come. what did she mean by the good? >> i think, i mean, in the case of christine blasey ford, this experience is one she may have regretted coming forward given what she's been through personally and continues to go through just in terms of her family and how this has upended her life. perhaps because deborah ramirez didn't publicly testify she got the same outpouring of support that christine blasey ford got but without the downside as much. certainly there were threatening, you know, e-mails and texts and that kind of thing, but generally, you know, she was very much sort of buoyed by people coming out of the woodwork s

the focus of the excerpt was on the deborah ramirez story.t like a fish out of water and alleged as part of that we thought that talking about this new allegation briefly was germane because it was a similar situation we had crafted language that use the women's name and talked about the fact that there was a witness max dyer who we talked about earlier that max dyer has not wanted to talk about it publicly what shared it with government officials. and ultimately that the woman has declined to talk to us about this specifically. and then francis says she doesn't remember it. during the editing process the line was taken out along with the woman's identity, there's a mentality at the new york times what you want to protect women who are victims in these situations. in the end it was taken out and we had added it in. we address that oversight as soon as we realized it. we really regret the omission and the concern that has been caused. there are people throughout, you mentioned throughout the deborah ramirez the excerpt in the way you frame it

you mentioned deborah ramirez.he ended up seeming quite hopeful and one of the questions and talks about addressing the 19 '80s drinking rape culture and she seemed to suggest the whole episode may be making people talk about the world was like and how it may be different now. >> when i originally reached out to her, things were still pretty raw and it was difficult and she also by no means was ready to talk to me that over time i thinthink what happened with boh christine blasey ford and debbie ramirez they received an outpouringng of support but also huge responses from people who said thank you for telling my story and making me feel validated and not allowed. debbie ramirez had a huge box of letters and notes that she saved that included not only from other victims but men who said it made them more sensitive and how they are talking. having contributed to a dialogue, she feltet better abot it and also didn't testify publicly andt i think to some extent wasn't held over the coals perhaps pipes to the degree chr

during the meeting which lasted about two hours, the fbi agents asked deborah ramirez many questions.re on their way out, one said something to the effect of, we find you credible. yet another ramirez lawyer said the agents also made clear their hands were tied, explaining we have to wait to get authorization to do anything else. it was almost a little apologetic. what did you find out about why the fbi thought their hands were so tied? why was their investigation limited to one week? you all spent ten months investigating this. why did the fbi not go further? >> i think that the additional fbi investigation, which ultimately senator coons and senator flake together came up with as a solution to some of these allegations swirling out there satisfied no one. to some extent, it gave the democrats the chance to sort of feel as if at least some of their concerns were being explored, but a week is a circumscribed period of time. it was directed by the white house in terms hough many witnesses and how long they said they didn't want this to be a fishing expedition. so they reined it in. the

since someone was asking her about deborah ramirez.aid i don't know, can you send me a picture of her from your yearbook. so i would my yearbook and i texted it to her. then she came back and said do you remember tracy harmon was another name. i came to me that picture. and i did. it was because she had a friend who was working for a senator who was trying to find out more about those names. september 14th. so this was in. >> before striking out in the washington post with her name on the record on september 16th, i think it was days before that, the 14th right before that that the intercept reported on the existence of a letter containing what we were later learned to be the allegations. but there were not a lot of details none of the time. >> so the yalies were talking. this thing was moving around and we definitely heard that. in the courses of my reporting. there is this whole part in my book where we talk about there are some classmates who have the theory that brett was i should say justice cavanaugh now, we called him brett. he

howard: deborah ramirez did not testify in the hearings. seven people, according to this book, said they had heard about it, but they're not eyewitnesses. so i'm left thinking they don't have the classmate directly who is claiming this, and they don't have an on the record comment from the woman herself and her friends say she doesn't remember it. what do they have? >> okay. so it's the way you package the story: you write it as though it's fact, and then you put the lack of facts further down the story where nobody reads it. so the public perception is that it's fact. i watched it all unfold last night on social media. people are looking at this as if it's another likely true allegation against kavanaugh backed up by zero facts. it's changing the narrative, and it's really about the media's own accountability here. are we going to keep reporting stories like this based on our own political biases? to target people or support people depending on whether we like them or hate them? reporters need to write about facts, and that's what they wer

they never interviewed 25 names deborah ramirez gave them to corroborate her claims. reporters now later, less than a year later working on this, are able to, in fact, find seven different witnesses to corroborate her claims. fbi never bothered. all of this is prompting a revisitation of the kavanaugh confirmation debacle which happened roughly this time last year. it's resulting in new calls that kavanaugh should, perhaps, be impeached from the high court. for among other things lying under oath during his confirmation process including about some of these sexual assault allegations. one of the prominent democrats who's now making that call that kavanaugh should be impeached for lying under oath is california senator and democratic presidential candidate kamala harris. and she joins us next. saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven better on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. you wanna see something thatamazing?ing. go to hilton instead of a travel site and you'll experience a whole new range of emotions like... the relax

however, the "new york times" reported that lawyers for deborah ramirez said they had given the fbi theey said could corroborate her claims and none were contacted. and "the new york times" authors say when it comes to this new claim, the fbi was notified but did not investigate. many of the democratic candidates running for president were quick to call for kavanaugh's removal. but others were saying before any impeachment talk, a proper investigation needs to be conducted. serena marshall, abc news, washington. >>> the united auto workers union is on strike against general motors. about 48,000 members walked off the job at midnight. it's the union's first such walkout since 2007. the union is seeking higher wages, lump sum payments and a better profit sharing. >> when they were in tough times, we made sacrifices. now the times are good, they need to come up and give us fair wages, fair benefits at affordable prices, and that's all we're asking. >> general motors says it made a strong offer that included higher pay and benefits. negotiations are ongoing, but a source tells cnn today's m

the shocking story strikingly similar to an allegation made by another yale classmate, deborah ramirez, at the height of kavanaugh's confirmation battle. ramirez alleged kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a different party when they were both drunk, and when she shoved him away, she says she was touched without her consent. kavanaugh flatly denying that and all allegations of sexual misconduct. >> none of the witnesses in the room support that. the -- if that had happened, e been the talk of campus. >> reporter: kavanaugh is not commenting on this latest charge, but his defenders call it a political smear and point out that "the times" article, adapted from a new book out this week, originally omitted a key fact which editors later added. the book says that the female student stier described, quote, "refused to discuss the incident" and "several of her friends said she does not recall it." >> they've just announced there's a correction, but to do that about a supreme court justice is a terrible thing. >> reporter: tonight, abc news has learned that senator chris coons, democrat of del

did not talk to the witnesses from the allegation of deborah ramirez.hey're saying -- some of them saying let's investigate and some going farther and saying we should impeach because they're saying he lied to congress when he was under oath, when he was testifying before the senate judiciary committee. "the washington post" had a story yesterday that said calls are mounting for impeachment, how would it work? from their story they say the question of lying under oath is particularly important for someone who would be as a member of the judiciary committee according to graves. the former senate judiciary committee lawyer who called for his impeachment to the supreme court. credible person from a judge. kavanaugh's removal is exceedingly unlikely given the supermajority threshold in the senate where there are 51 republicans and 49 democrats. the supermajority threshold for removal is exceedingly shy by sign and the democrats drafted it to pro reprevent conflicts and any conflict is enough for bipartisanship support for removal. we go to a democratic call

kavanaugh and more corroboration of the story told by one of brett's former yale classmates, deborah ramirez you'll remember, she says that, while at a party, kavanaugh thrust his penis in her face and she had to bat it away. ( laughter ) ramirez was not from a privileged background, and she says this incident reinforced the idea that, at yale, "they invite you to the game, but they never show you the rules or where the equipment is ." oh, unfortunately, he showed you where the equipment is.

just a relitigation of last year, where they tried to take these allegations that were made by deborah ramirez were considered so lacking in credibility that even "the new york times" that they couldn't confirm them. but now, a year later, we are supposed to believe that they are somehow credible. >> bret: in the meantime, 2020 democrats called for kavanaugh's impeachment. here is jerry nadler on impeaching brett kavanaugh. >> we are going to question the fbi director on this whole thing. and then, we will make other determinations. we are concentrating our resources on determining whether to impeach the president. we have to concentrate on that first. >> bret: basically, it's not happening. >> susan: impeachment. >> bret: a brett kavanaugh. it's not happening. >> susan: this is a mess.

serious that supplemental investigation was, especially with one of the women who came forward, deborah ramirezs excerpts released to "the new york times." ms. ramirez's legal team gave the fbi a list of at least 25 individuals who may have had krob rating evidence but the bureau in the background investigation interviewed none of them. though we learned many of the potential witnesses tried in vain to reach the fbi on their own. they also write in this new book two fbi agents interviewed ms. ramirez saying they found her credible and the republican controlled senate imposed strict limits on the investigation. we have to wait to get authorization to do anything else. one of the attorneys recalled the agent saying, it was almost a little apologetic. what does this mean to you? >> here's something i learned in the time as prosecutor. if you're specifically not looking for evidence in corroboration you will not find evidence and corroboration. this tells me that the investigation that was done was for show. it was for political cover. it was not the way that any prosecutor or the fbi would ever ru

this weekend "the new york times" published a piece about deborah ramirez who had accused justice kavanaugh of exposing himself to her during a party at the yale university campus in the early 80s. the piece is part of a book out tomorrow by two times reporters, they write quote, at least seven people including ms. ramirez's mother heard about the yale incident long before mr. kavanaugh was a federal judge. two were classmates who learned of it days after the party occurred, suggesting that it was discussed among students at the time. "the new york times" reported on another allegation that kavanaugh exposed himself to a female classmate during his time at jail, and a witness notified senators and the fbi about his account but the fbi did not investigate and mr. stier has declined to talk about it publicly. the times said the female student involved in the claim declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the episode. kavanaugh has repeatedly denied the allegations from ford and ramirez and had declined to comment on the new allegations. trump has been vigorously defendin

ford and deborah ramirez deserve to have their due process which is why i filed this resolution to initiatepeachment inquiry so that we could get to the bottom of the matter. >> to your point on being rushed, we know that democratic senator chris coons said that he alerted the fbi to a potential witness but the witness never actually heard from the fbi. so congresswoman presley, was this fbi investigation a sham? >> i think there is a great deal of evidence that points to the fact that this was a rushed and fundamentally flawed investigation both by the fbi and this gop-led senate. and listen, you know, no one is impeachment happy over here. i didn't come to congress to impeach a president, i certainly didn't come to congress to sit a sitting supreme court justice but this is where we find ourselves in unprecedented times and unchartered waters so i'll do the job i was sent here to congress to do. >> back on the point of the fbi, looking back to the whole process, do you believe the fbi made a decision from the top not to pursue this heavily? >> i think that there is evidence that supports

the book says that seven people were told years ago about allegations by deborah ramirez that brett kavanaughis was three and a half decades ago, exposed himself to her at a yale drunk, you know, drunken dorm party. he has always denied that. anyone of these -- none of these seven people are said to be eyewitnesses. the big news here is the accusation in this book that kavanaugh exposed himself at a second drunken dorm party at yale and that a woman was, at the party had to touch his genitals. but the sourcing, to put it mildly, is indirect. the reporters rely on a former classmate named max stier who wouldn't talk to them. the reporters say they spoke to two unnamed officials who spoke to stier, but the source did not directly talk to appropriators. according to the book again, the woman, the woman who kavanaugh allegedly supposedly exposed himself to, they identify her by name, quote, refused to discuss the incident, though several of her friends said she does not recall it. that have left out of today's new york times story. i reached out to the kavanaugh team for comment. justice kavanaug

deborah ramirez, a former yale classmate, accused kavanaugh of pulling down his pants and thrusting his penis at her during a drunken party, forcing her to touch it while she swatted it away from her. kavanaugh denied the accusation during his confirmation hearings but "the new york times" found at least seven people, including ramirez's mother, knew of the incident for years. some had learned of it in the days after it happened. "the times" also uncovered another similar incident in which kavanaugh's friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at another party. the fbi never followed up on a list of 25 people provided by ramirez who could corroborate her story, nor did they follow up on information about the second incident. in a historic congressional testimony last september, dr. christine blasey ford accused brett kavanaugh of attempting to rape her when she 15 and he was 17. multiple 2020 democrats are -- multiple 2020 democratic presidential candidates are calling for kavanaugh's impeachment in light of the reports, including senators bernie sanders, elizabeth warre

this is the third example of sexual impropriety by brett kavanaugh and it confirms our story of deborah ramireznt. >> martha: now one of the authors is going even further by pointing the finger at fox news tweeting out a box article that accuses this network of twisting the story to attack "the new york times." here now is brit hume, fox news senior political analyst with his take on this, good evening, good to have you here. >> we ought to review a little history here. both mollie hemingway, a contributor and a senior editor at "the federalist" and our own howard kurtz pointed out on the air and on twitter that this crucial detail, that the alleged victim doesn't remember the alleged incidents had been left out of "the new york times" story on that book excerpt, based on that book excerpt. so that was our initial role in this and we commented about it ever since. it was pursuant to that or at least after that that the times then appended to the story and editor's note and what is this claim that we twisted events based on? it's based on the fact that that the editor's note was in the form of j

and supposedly the seven people who are corroborating deborah ramirez, a number of them had no recollection they heard about some event, but they didn't hear about kavanaugh. i think he's been smeared. >> yeah. >> the standards of fairness have been turned on their head. it wouldn't have been applied to anyone else except for brett kavanaugh. look, it's people's rights to oppose them. but they -- >> that's not -- i just disagree with you. that's not what happened. there are people who have have been -- the fbi should have spoken to, and seven people that say they were aware of this, the fbi should have spoken to them. and the reason the fbi didn't speak to them is because the republicans put, you know, basically rules around what the investigation could cover, and so they didn't. so i think having a real investigation into these allegations isn't a smear. it just isn't. >> you think if there was a more thorough fbi investigation without the time constraints and the limitations that were on it, that all of this would have come out? >> i think that we would know -- we would have a better sens

. >> it confirms the story of deborah ramirez. it's important. >> harris: wow, you really think that without the evidence from the victims' own mouth? okay. you are talking about a list of things. i want to give you a list of things. these were journalists who worked on this. >> they were colleagues of mine. >> harris: these are not just some op-ed writers who had a feeling about something. back on august 6, the newspaper change island by about the president. the lead recording revealed plans to shift coverage from the mueller report to trump's alleged racism. over this weekend the times apologize for what many saw as an offensive tweet about the new cavanaugh obligations. misstep, mistakes. what would you say? >> let's start with the recent tweets about this story, which was completely out-of-bounds and inappropriate. >> harris: why? >> because to call what happened -- i really don't want to repeat -- >> harris: you don't even want to use the words that were in the tweet! we can start with that! [laughs] >> i don't mind using the
