New York Times reporter tells Kavanaugh friend he would cover story 'differently' now

Mark Judge, high school friend of Justice Kavanaugh, said a New York Times reporter recently appeared contrite on how he reported on the story at the time.

"I got the most unexpected response I ever could’ve imagined, which was the New York Times reporter who tried to ruin my life, sounded contrite." Judge told Fox News Digital.  David Spector is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to david.spector@fox.com.

Judge contends that the New York Times was fed "totally bogus" opposition research provided by disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti and others that he and Justice Kavanaugh, his high school friend, were involved in drugging and gangraping girls in high school that Enrich and his "partner in crime" Kate Kelly set out to corroborate by unearthing whatever embarrassing information they could dredge up about him from when he was an adolescent. Judge says that in the years since the Kavanaugh hearings, several reporters involved in the smears against him have been "agonizing" over their role in wrecking his life.
