Brett Kavanaugh was 'a frequent and heavy drinker' at Yale who was 'belligerent and aggressive' when drunk, says former classmate who is now demanding to speak to FBI investigators

Charles 'Chad' Ludington (left), who said he was Brett Kavanaugh's friend at Yale (pictured main at his graduation) and sometimes drank with him, has described him as 'a frequent drinker, and a heavy drinker'. Ludington, who now teaches at North Carolina State University, said on Sunday that he is 'deeply troubled' by what he claims is a blatant mischaracterization by Kavanaugh of his drinking at Yale. He went on the record after hearing Kavanaugh's testimony (inset) during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. In addition to being a 'frequent' and 'heavy drinker', Ludington said Kavanaugh was often belligerent and aggressive when drunk. He added that on many occasions he heard Kavanaugh slur his words and saw him stagger from alcohol consumption. Ludington said he plans to speak to the FBI because he believes Kavanaugh downplayed the 'degree and frequency' of his drinking during the Senate hearing.

'On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing 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.' FBI agents have asked him to meet at the bureau's Raleigh office on Monday, the New York Times reports.  While he admitted in his congressional testimony that there were probably occasions during his time at Georgetown Prep that he had consumed 'too many beers,' a combative Kavanaugh denied he had ever gotten out of control, blacked out or acted inappropriately toward women.

As Democrats tried to sound alarms that the White House may be constraining the F.B.I.’s work, one key member of the party indicated that if the Democrats won control of the House in November and Judge Kavanaugh made it through the Senate, he would have no choice but to more fully investigate the claims against him.

“If he is on the Supreme Court and the Senate hasn’t investigated, the House will have to,” the lawmaker, Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said on “This Week.” “We would have to investigate any credible allegations, certainly of perjury and other things that haven’t been properly looked into before.”
