Avenatti (from the article):
"I am looking forward to a full investigation at which point I am confident that I will be fully exonerated."
Kavanaugh during his Senate testimony:
DURBIN: I — I’ll just say this: If you, Judge Kavanaugh, turned to Don McGahn and to this committee and say, “For the sake of my reputation, my family name, and to get to the bottom of the truth of this, I am not going to stay — be an obstacle to an FBI investigation,” I would hope that all the members of the committee would join me in saying, “We’re going to abide by your witch — wishes, and we will have that investigation.”
KAVANAUGH: I — I welcome whatever the committee wants to do, because I’m telling the truth.
DURBIN: I want to know what you want to do.
KAVANAUGH: I — I’m telling the truth.
DURBIN: I want to know what you want to do, Judge.
KAVANAUGH: I’m innocent. I’m innocent of this charge.
DURBIN: Then you’re prepared for an FBI investigator…
KAVANAUGH: They don’t reach conclusions. You reach the conclusion, Senator.
DURBIN: No, but they do investigate questions.
KAVANAUGH: I’m — I’m innocent.
DURBIN: And you can’t have it both ways, Judge. You can’t say here at the beginning…
KAVANAUGH: I wanted a hearing.
DURBIN: (inaudible) your moment.
KAVANAUGH: Look, this thing…
DURBIN: I welcome any kind of investigation, and then walk away from this.
KAVANAUGH: This thing was sprung on me — this thing was sprung at the last minute after being held by staff. You know…
DURBIN: Judge, if there is no truth to…
KAVANAUGH: And I called for a — I called for a hearing immediately.
DURBIN: If there is no truth to her charges, the FBI investigation will show that. Are you afraid that they might not?
...
So the point I’m getting to is we at least can connect some dots here and get some information. Why would you resist that kind…
KAVANAUGH: Here’s some (ph) dots.
DURBIN: … of investigation? Why would you resist that kind of investigation?
KAVANAUGH: Senator, I — I welcome — I wanted the hearing last week.
DURBIN: I’m asking about the FBI investigation.
KAVANAUGH: They’re — the committee figures out how to ask the questions, I’ll do whatever. I’ve been on the phone multiple times with committee counsel. I’ll talk to…
DURBIN: Judge Kavanaugh, will you support an FBI investigation…
KAVANAUGH: … I’ll do — I’ll…
DURBIN: … right now?
KAVANAUGH: … I — I will do whatever the committee wants to…
DURBIN: Personally, do you think that’s the best thing for us to do? You won’t answer?
KAVANAUGH: … Look, senator, I — I’ve — I’ve — I’ve said I wanted a hearing and I’d said I was welcome (ph) anything. I’m innocent. This thing was held — held when it could have been presented in the ordinary way. It could have been held and handled confidentially at first, which was what Dr. Ford’s wishes were as I understand it. It wouldn’t have caused this — like, destroyed my family like this — this effort has.
DURBIN: I think an FBI investigation will help all of us on both sides of the issue.
GRASSLEY: Senator Graham asked for the floor. But before he does, it seems to me that if you want to know something, you’ve got the witness right here to — to ask him. And secondly, if you want an FBI report, you can ask for it yourself. I’ve asked for FBI reports in the past, in the 38 years I’ve been in the Senate.
Make of that what you will.
