The Judiciary Committee hearing was the THIRD time Kavanaugh lied about Ramirez allegations,
not the first. Each time he claimed he only learned about the allegations when the New Yorker article was published on September 23.
This wasn’t an accident, a misunderstanding, or a slip of the tongue. He failed to tell the truth 3 times in response to 3 different questions – knowing all the while that he had been discussing Ramirez's claims with his Yale classmates starting weeks earlier.
His first two lies were in a telephone interview he had with Judiciary committee members and staff on Sept. 25; and then he lied again in the hearing on Sept. 27.

Sept. 25 transcript of telephone interview
p. 10 Question: The article reports that an anonymous classmate is 100 percent sure that he was told at the time that Kavanaugh was the student who exposed himself to Ramirez and that he independently recalled many of the same details offered by Ramirez, including the party's location. The article also suggests that some of your classmates have discussed this alleged event.
At any point, have you ever heard a rumor that you exposed yourself to Ms. Ramirez?
Judge Kavanaugh. No, and I would have, because it would have been the talk of campus.
p. 18 Question: All right. My last question on this subject is since you graduated from college, but before the New Yorker article publication on September 23rd, have you ever discussed or heard discussion about the incident matching the description given by Ms. Ramirez to the New Yorker?
Judge Kavanaugh. No.
