NY Times reporters claim Kavanaugh agreed to be interviewed, but asked them to lie, so they bailed
September 19, 2019 | Frieda Powers
Authors of the new book about Brett Kavanaugh are stirring the pot again with a new allegation that the Supreme Court Justice had conditionally agreed to be interviewed.
Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, the New York Times reporters behind a controversial report about Kavanaugh published last weekend, claimed on Wednesday that they had to walk away from an interview with him because he allegedly asked them to write that he had declined to be interviewed for their book.
In another confusing twist in the prelude to the release of “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation,†Pogrebin and Kelly told an audience at a National Press Club event in Washington D.C. on Wednesday that they had approached Kavanaugh about an interview as their book was reaching its final stages.
The associate justice allegedly agreed to speak to the reporters to provide background information as they wrapped up their 10-month investigation on his education and the sexual allegations against him that surfaced during his contentious confirmation hearings last year.
But Pogrebin and Kelly claimed that Kavanaugh agreed to be interviewed as long as the reporters wrote that they didn’t speak with him.
