julie swetnick's allegations. none of them could, quite the contrary. i don't know whether ms. pawn or not, the fbi will find out. i don't know michael avenatti, based on my relationship with him through the committee, he clearly has a casual relationship with the truth. and it appears to me that he will do the right thing, but only when constantly supervised and cornered like a rat. >> tucker: and so what you are saying if i'm interpreting this correctly as there is no evidence that these ten gang rapes took place, that which julie swetnick said she was present for. so this will be the one case in my memory where someone actually gets punished for lying to a congressional committee under oath? >> and this is serious because we want people who are victims of sexual violence to come forward. but if someone comes forward and it lies about, that undermines the legitimacy of the allegations that are valid. and at one point when it was clear that there were no clock, corroborating witnesses, mr. avenatti alleged he had a witness and would present a sworn statement but would not tell

ms. ramirez's allegations? >> today. "the this comes as washington post" reports the slightly expanded investigation will look into allegations by a third kavanaugh accuser, julie swetnick, who said she observed kavanaugh at high school parties in the 1980's joining efforts to inebriate girls so they could be gang raped. recently resurfaced 1983 yearbooks from georgetown prep show students bragging about the use of "killer q's" during beach week -- a possible reference to quaaludes, the sedative bill cosby used to drug women in order to rape them. amy: now a group of alumni from brett kavanaugh's all-male school high school has issued a call for fellow graduates to come forward if they have information about any sexual assaults possibly committed by the supreme court nominee, saying in a petition -- "please do not remain silent, even if speaking out comes at some personal cost." in a minute, we will be joined by one of those alumni, but first i want to turn to comments of judge kavanaugh made about georgetown prep. he was speaking at catholic university's columbus school of law in 2015. >> fortunately, we had a good saying that we of held firm to to this day as the dean

julie swetnick, who accused judge kavanaugh of participating many gang rape. in gang rape. pretty bad stuff. now, the concern here is that mr. avenatti and ms. deliberately conspired to the provide false statements to congress. my next guest says avenatti could be disbarred. trial attorney and legal analyst misty meyers. great to have you. >> thank you, trish. at 8:00 instead of 2. we've got to go out to dinner afterwards. [laughter] trish: you're saying he should be disbarred. you really have a lot of questions, you think this is a bad guy who did a bad thing? >> i think that if this is true, if he conspired with a client to lie for the purpose of obstructing a congressional investigation, that is absolutely would be sent immediately to the ethics committee, and there would be very little question that there would be repercussions. trish: so is he going to say, oh, no, no, no, this is what she told me, and i was doing my job as her attorney. >> he does have that sworn affidavit that. [applause] swet -- that ms. swet nick did sign, but damage oj is saying -- doj is saying it wasn't just avenatti, they conspired to tell these false statements

ms. ramirez's story before it became public. that was in clear contradiction with his testimony before the judiciary committee. a search for the truth would have allowed the f.b.i. to at least speak for july swetnick, a third accuser. as vermonters said to me last weekend when i was home, if they have nothing to hide, why the rush? if they have nothing to hide, why don't they take the time to find the whole truth? but instead of calling on the f.b.i. to take these basic investigatory steps, inexplicably the republican-controlled judiciary committee has solely tried to discredit these women. the committee released a statement from a former acquaintance of ms. swetnick. this individual had no knowledge of the alleged incident, but instead wanted to describe the alleged sexual preferences of ms. swetnick. according to the national task force to end sexual and domestic violence, one of the most nonpartisan and respected voices on capitol hill, this shameless attempt to smear a victim violates the rape shield law. look what happened. on one hand you have the president of the united states in a rally trying to shame the victim who, of wowser, is a -- of course, is a woman. then we have, on the other han

> and now julie sweat nick cannot say that kavanaugh salter appear when asked about spiking transit parties she says i don't know what he did. and, her ex-boyfriend tells fox that ms. swetnick threatened to kill his unborn child and never once did she mention kavanaugh. it appears republicans have had enough. mitch mcconnell says they will be a vote on friday. just wait until you hear what president trump had to say about all of this at a big jampacked rally in tennessee tonight. there is something to look forward to! "varney & co." is about to begin. >> week call him -- for 15 years as the attorney general of connecticut, he went around telling war stories. he was never in vietnam, it was a lie! and then he is up they are saying, we want the truth! from judge kavanaugh. >> you heard it. the president slamming richard blumenthal of connecticut at the big rally in tennessee last night. i will have more on that later in the show. now listen to what the president said about democrats and the stock markets. >> a democratic takeover of congress will plunge our country into gridlock and chaos.and take away all that i've heard in the last 20 months. >> and think of this, the stock
