( laughter ) because the story is pretty quilled, right? turns out, in 1985, kavanaugh and friends got into a bar fight that got so rowdy the police got called in and the police filed an official report. and here's the thing, it's one thing to get into a fight, it's another thing to get into a fight where the cops are called and on top of that where the cops are called on a white guy. do you know how bad a fight has to be for the police to get called on a white guy? ( applause ) at an ivy league school in the '80s! that was, like, rich white male hay day! every decade, is but tha

chad luddington, he was there in the bar, part of the incident.t spoke to him minutes ago. he happens to be the same chad luddington that came forward before this report came out about the police action to say brett kavanaugh was not the man he explained to the senators, under oath. chad luddington, thank you for joi joining us on prime-time. let's start with news. there is a report out there that brett kavanaugh is named in a police report about an incident that stemmed from drinking and being angry out one night. do you know anything about this report? >> yes, i do. in fact, i know a great deal about this report. >> tell me. >> well, it all began -- that evening began -- in fact, i know the date now, i've found it in "the heaartford currant," a program guide for september, 1985, and chris dudley and brett kavanaugh and i went to a ub-40 concert. they were a popular reggae band in the 1980s. in any event, at something called the palace theater. it was a wednesday night, so it was sort of an odd night to be going out, but the concert was a good on

signed, charles "chad" luddington. and why did we do that? it's a full statement with a lot of details. we spent a lot of time with him. and to our knowledge at this point, this is not testimony that we are certain that the fbi will consider in its broader investigation. so we felt it was important to share the entire contents of that statement with the public. that account of judge kavanaugh's drinking already seeing pushback from one of luddington's teammates, chris dudley, also a close friend of kavanaugh from yale, says that he is certain that he never saw kavanaugh black out or behave inappropriately with any women. >> now, the question becomes, what is the fbi going to do with all of this, right? how many people will they speak to, how many leads will they follow and how much is the white house directing all of that? the president is pushing back against multiple reports that he is working along with white house council don mcgahn to really limit the scope of the fbi's probe here. let's go to the white house. abby phillip has more. look

chad luddington ended his statement by saying he would, quote, take my information to the fbi. and that brings us to the first bit of late-breaking news tonight, something that may give us a bit of the window into the scope of the fbi information now that restrictions have been taken off by the white house that altercation that mr. luddington described in which brett kavanaugh allegedly threw a beer at someone and started a fight, well, tonight "the new york times" reports that there is indeed a police report documenting that incident and judge kavanaugh's involvement. quote, the incident which occurred in september 1985 during mr. kavanaugh's junior year resulted in mr. kavanaugh and four other men being questioned by the new haven police department. mr. kavanaugh was not arrested, but the police report stated that a 21-year-old man accused mr. kavanaugh of throwing ice on him for some unknown reason. a witness to the fight said that chris dudley, a yale basketball player who is friends with mr. kavanaugh then threw a glass that hit the 21-year-old man in the ear, according to

chad luddington, the latest friend. he gave a press conference today.his first tv interview here tonight. >> great. >> we had two other women on last week who knew kavanaugh. they didn't hate kavanaugh. they knew kavanaugh in college. but they had a very different reckoning of his habits that he offered up to all of us in the senate. when does it matter, when does it not? and how come, quickly, sorry, we haven't heard whether the third allegation from miss swetnick is being heard from the fbi? is she hurt from a credibility standpoint? is she unbelievable? her lawyer, michael avenatti, is here to be tested. >> look forward to that in about nine minutes. >>> up next on "360," why a group of people living nearly 4,000 miles from washington in a remote village in alaska could be a key role in whether brett kavanaugh is actually confirmed to the u.s. supreme court. we'll explain, with ahead. so why not bundle them with esurance and save up to 10%? which you can spend on things you really want to buy, like... well, i don't know what you'd wanna buy because i

we heard last night from chad luddington, who was a former classmate, a basketball player, someone whoays he frequently socialized with brett kavanaugh. he says in a statement that he believes that judge kavanaugh was dishonest before the senate judiciary committee last week when he testified. he said that he believes that judge kavanaugh was not being honest about how much he drank in college and here's exactly what he said. he said, quote, when i watched brett deliver his testimony under oath to the senate judiciary committee on thursday, i cringed. for the fact is, at yale, and i can speak to no other times, brett was a frequent drinker and a heavy drinker. i know, becaus especially in our first two years of college, i often drank with him. now, brooke, his statement goes on to say that he was deeply troubled by kavanaugh's comments to the judiciary committee, that it was a gross mischaracterization of what he remembers about brett kavanaugh from that time. and he's not the only classmate that has had concerns. we've also heard from liz swisher and lynn brooks who say they remember

you wrote an op-ed in the west along with your classmates charles luddington and lynn brooks titled " were brett kavanau kavanaugh's drinking buddies and we don't think he should be confirmed." you said we each asserted that brett lied to the senate by stating under oath that he never drank to the point of forgetting what he was doing. we said unequivocally that each of us on numerous occasions had seen brett stumbling drunk to the point it would be impossible for him to state with any degree of certainty that he remembered everything that he did when drunk." so his confirmation looks likely. lou are you feeling about today's developments? >> well, frankly, i'm grieving. i'm grieving on many counts. i'm grieving for the loss of truth and justice in our system. for the undermining of the supreme court process. and also for the women who bravely came forward and you know had their stories basically thrown away. >> do you feel like people listened to you and your former classmates? >> i think -- i think people did listen to me, but i guess don't think it was enough because i think politi

quoting chad luddington telling cnn, i can unequivocally say in denying the possibility that eever blackedegree and frequency of his drinking, brett has not told the truth. yes. how do they figure this out? >> so there is a spin out there coming from some quarters, oh, their persecuting him for drinking beer. but it's so much more than that. >> it's about lying. >> if he did drink, and drink to excess to the point of memory loss, "a," that is a central feature of dr. ford's testimony. she said the two boys were very drunk at the time. "b," it completely undercuts kavanaugh's own defense. and the statements from him and judge and others that "i have no recollection of that," it's completely consistent with them being blackout drunk. and that's why he's fighting it. can kavanaugh knows that. he recognizes it's a third rail. because when you watch his testimony, when senator klobuchar testified on that, he was completely nonresponsive. he's a judge. he got sarcastic in the, "i don't know, did you" response to her. because if he knows he touches that, if he admits, yes, there were times i had

kavanaugh's former classmate at yale chad luddington spoke to bloomberg about that fight. yesterday he released a statement describing kavanaugh as, quote, belligerent and aggressive after drinking. here is what kavanaugh said to the committee about his drinking last week. >> i drank beer with my friends, almost everyone did. sometimes i had too many beers, but i did not drink beer to the point of blacking out. >> earlier this evening his former classmate offered a different assessment. >> i can unequivocally say that in denying the possibility that he ever blacked out from drinking and in downplaying the degree and frequency of his drinking brett has not told the truth. i felt it was my civic duty to tell of my experience while drinking with brett. >> chad ludington went on to say much more. he said he's already been in touch with the fbi about kavanaugh. this morning president trump was asked about the conflicting accounts of kavanaugh's drinking. >> there are now concerns that he may have lied or mischaracterized his drinking while testifying. if they find that he did,

most recently, a yale classmate of kavanaugh's named chad luddington says he has nothing to contribute about what kind of justice he would be, in recent days, i have become deeply troubled by what has been a blatant mischaracter saization brett himself of his drinking at yale. quote, brett was a frequent drinker and a heavy drinker. i know because especially in our first two years of college i often drank with him. on many occasions i heard brett slur his words and saw him staggering from alcohol consumption, not all of which was beer. when brett got drunk, he was often belligerent and aggressive. on one of the last occasions i purposely socialized with brett, i witnessed him respond to a semihostile remark not by diffusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man's face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail. i do not believe that the heavy drinking or even loutish behavior of an 18 or even a 21-year-old should condemn a person for the rest of his life, but, quote, i can unequivocally say that denying the possibility that he ever blacked out f
