I did not do this back in high school or at any time.”Through a White House spokesman, Kavanaugh declined to comment further on Ford’s allegation and did not respond to questions about whether he knew her during high school. In the letter, which was read to The Post, Ford described the incident and said she expected her story to be kept confidential. At the time, Ford said, she knew Kavanaugh and Judge as “friendly acquaintances” in the private-school social circles of suburban Maryland. She said that each person had one beer but that Kavanaugh and Judge had started drinking earlier and were heavily intoxicated. He said he expects that some people, upon hearing his wife’s account, will believe that Kavanaugh’s high school behavior has no bearing upon his fitness for the nation’s high court.
