Where is Mark Judge Now? He Went to Bethany Beach | Heavy.com
Mark Judge, a writer who penned articles about Catholic sex abuse controversies and for conservative and other publications, including about his alcohol-fueled high school years, was identified by Brett Kavanaugh's accuser Christine Blasey Ford as an eyewitness to the alleged attack.
However, despite Democratic efforts to get Republicans to do so, they did not call Judge to testify at the hearing on September 27, 2018.
Judge, through his lawyer, did send the Senate Judiciary Committee a letter denying any knowledge of the party or alleged attack, which Kavanaugh also denies.
(Two other people Blasey Ford says were at the party also have said they have no recollection of it.).
Although Mark Judge is not in Washington for the hearing, where is he now? He was recently spotted in Bethany Beach, Delaware.

The Washington Post Tracked Judge Down to a Beach House in Delaware.
On September 24, 2018, The Washington Post reported that its reporter had located Judge – in Delaware.
The Post reported that Judge was "holed up in the house of a longtime friend in Bethany Beach, nearly three hours away.
A car in the driveway contained piles of clothing, a collection of Superman comics and a package addressed to Judge at the Potomac home where he lived three years ago.".
"How'd you find me?" he said to The Post reporter.
Judge's attorney told The Post she advised Judge to leave town because he was under incredible stress due to the allegations.
Judge revealed to The Weekly Standard that he is the high school classmate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh who is accused of being a witness to what happened between Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford.
A controversial letter first alleged sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh against Ford in high school, an accusation which Kavanaugh has strenuously denied.
In the interview with Weekly Standard, Judge also strongly denied the accusations.
According to Weekly Standard's John McCormack, who authored the article, Mark Judge is a writer in Washington D.C.
Blasey Ford repeated her accusations against Kavanaugh and Ford in a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"It's just absolutely nuts.
I never saw Brett act that way," Judge told the Weekly Standard of the Kavanaugh accusations when they first publicly emerged.
Judge essentially repeated that stance in a letter sent by his lawyer to the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 18, 2018, which you can read in full later in this article.
(Patrick J.
Smyth, who says in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that Ford has claimed he was also at the party, has denied any knowledge of the party or misbehavior by Kavanaugh, as has a woman identified as possibly being at the party named Leland Keyer.

On September 23, 2018, the New Yorker published a second alleged account of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh, which he also denies, dating to college.
That allegation by a woman named Deborah Ramirez did not involve Judge, but the story included a separate allegation from a former girlfriend contradicting Judge's comment to Weekly Standard that "I can recall a lot of rough-housing with guys.
I don't remember any of that stuff going on with girls." Elizabeth Rasor alleged Judge "had told her ashamedly of an incident that involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman" that he regarded as consensual, but she said Judge didn't name the other males involved.
Judge's attorney told The New Yorker that Judge categorically denies Rasor's story.
Avenatti revealed the name of a third accuser – Julie Swetnick – on September 26, 2018.
She is accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge of taking part in gang rapes, including one that she was a victim of, when they were in high school in the 1980s.
Both Judge and Kavanaugh deny this account too.
Christine Blasey Ford accuses Kavanaugh of pinning her to a bed and groping her.
The Post alleged: "Ford said she was able to escape when Kavanaugh's friend and classmate at Georgetown Preparatory School, Mark Judge, jumped on top of them, sending all three tumbling.".
Judge revealed on September 9, 2018 on Facebook that he was receiving inquiries from editors about "high school and the 80s." He's written in the past about beer-fueled parties in the 1980s, about alcoholism, and has been sharply critical of Barack and Michelle Obama – along with many other topics.
He also wrote on Facebook that he kept a diary from the 1980s.
Mark Judge has now deleted his Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Mark Judge Says He Has No Memory of the Alleged Party in Question & Doesn't Want to Testify.
Barbara Van Gelder, the lawyer for Mark Judge, wrote a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which said Mark Judge doesn't want to testify.
The letter explains that Judge has nothing to offer the committee because he can't remember the party in question and never saw Kavanaugh act as described.
It reads:.
I did not ask to be involved in this matter nor did anyone ask me to be involved.
The only reason I am involved is because Dr.
Christine Blasey Ford remembers me as the other person in the room during the alleged assault.
In fact, I have no memory of this alleged incident.
Brett Kavanaugh and I were friends in high school but I do not recall the party described in Dr.
Ford's letter.
More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr.
Ford describes.
I have no more information to offer the Committee and I do not wish to speak publicly regarding the incidents described in Dr.
Ford's letter.Kavanaugh issued a statement in which he said, "I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation.
I did not do this back in high school or at any time." Judge did not return a request from Heavy for comment.
In the interview with Weekly Standard, Judge said he could not even remember an incident that could be misconstrued in the way the New Yorker says the letter alleges.
"I don't remember any of that stuff going on with girls," Judge told Weekly Standard, adding that the New Yorker didn't provide him many details.
Judge told The New York Times: "I never saw anything like what was described," adding of Kavanaugh, "It is not who he is.
" He described Kavanaugh to The Times as a "brilliant student," whowas not "into anything crazy or illegal.
Judge Wrote on Facebook That He Met Brett Kavanaugh at 'Beach Week' in 1981; He's Written for Conservative Publications, Among Others.
On Facebook, Mark Judge has shared some information about Brett Kavanaugh.
"He had the same haircut on the night I met him (at Beach Week) in 1981.
I mean, the exact same haircut," he wrote in July 2018, with a share of a New York Times story that declared that Kavanaugh's law students had praised Kavanaugh as a law professor, including saying nice things about his hair.
Judge recently shared (before the controversy broke) an article by another author at the conservative site Hot Air that was headlined "Please, For the Love of God Let This Be the Last Supreme Court Nomination Hearing.
