Kavanaugh Breaks Silence: "I'm Not Going Anywhere…I Was Never At Any Such Party"

Breaking his public silence for first time since the hearings last month, Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, appeared alongside his wife, on Fox News Channel's "The Story with Martha MacCallum" tonight to address the sexual misconduct allegations that have put his confirmation at risk of unraveling.
As we detailed earlier, Brett Kavanaugh defied his accusers on Monday when he said, in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), that he will "not be intimidated into withdrawing" his Supreme Court nomination and staunchly denied the accusations, calling them a "grotesque and obvious character assassination" and "a coordinated effort" to drive him out on the nomination.
Ahead of tonight's interview, President Trump tweeted about the interview and reiterated that "this is an outstanding family who must be treated fairly!"
And in tonight's first interview since the allegation, Kavanaugh began assertively, saying:
"I’m not going anywhere…
"I want a fair process where I can defend my integrity, and I know I'm telling the truth," the judge said.
"I know my lifelong record and I'm not going to let false accusations drive me out of this process…
I have faith in God and I have faith in the fairness of the American people."
In the interview, Kavanaugh emphatically denied Ford's claim against him, telling McCallum that he was a virgin through high school and for "many years after."
"I did not have sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter. The girls from the schools I went to and I were friends."
"I was never at any such party," Kavanaugh said.
"The other people who alleged to be present have said they do not remember any such party. A woman who was present, another woman who was present who was Dr. Ford’s lifelong friend has said she doesn’t know me and never remembers being at a party with me at any time in her life."
MACCALLUM: Nothing ever physical? You never met her? Never kissed her? Never touched her, that you remember?
KAVANAUGH: Correct. I have never had any physical or sexual activity with Dr. Ford. I've never sexually assuaulted anyone, in high school or otherwise.
