Full Interview Will Air this Sunday, September 30, at 8 PM ET/PT on SHOWTIME

NEW YORK – September 27, 2018 –  On the eve of a highly anticipated hearing regarding charges of sexual misconduct swirling around Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, new accuser Julie Swetnick gave her first and only TV interview since leveling shocking allegations against Kavanaugh to John Heilemann, co-host of THE CIRCUS on SHOWTIME. Swetnick is the first Kavanaugh accuser to speak on camera.

Taped in Atlanta, with Swetnick's lawyer Michael Avenatti present, she answered key questions about why she decided to share her story now and her contention that Kavanaugh's alleged behavior towards her -- which he has denied -- disqualifies him from being confirmed to the nation's highest court.
