Avenatti denies being 'duped' by 4Chan user on Kavanaugh claims

Attorney Michael Avenatti on Tuesday dismissed a rumor that he had been duped by a 4Chan user with fake allegations about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

"There is a rumor being floated that I was 'duped' or 'pranked' by a 4Chan user re Kavanaugh," Avenatti, who has said he has a client with claims to make against Kavanaugh, tweeted Tuesday.

A 4Chan user posted earlier Tuesday that his girlfriend reached out to Avenatti on a disposable cellphone, telling him that she had attended high school with Kavanaugh and had evidence that he trained other high school boys to gang rape girls at parties.

The 4Chan user said his girlfriend then had Avenatti call a different untraceable cellphone over which they pretended to be another classmate of Kavanaugh's who could confirm the entire story.

Avenatti came forward over the weekend with what he called "Credible information" about allegations against Kavanaugh, who has been publicly accused of sexual misconduct by two women.

Avenatti told The Hill on Monday that he expected his client to go public with her allegations against Kavanaugh.

Avenatti told the chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sunday that he is "Aware of significant evidence of multiple house parties in the Washington, D.C., area during the early 1980s, during which Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge and others would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs to allow a 'train' of men to subsequently gang rape them."
