Michael Avenatti told the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday that his client is prepared to take a lie detector test to prove she can corroborate the allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

“My client is prepared to undergo a polygraph examination in further substantiation of her claims provided Mr. Kavanaugh likewise agrees to undergo an examination,” he said in an email to Mike Davis, the Judiciary Committee’s chief counsel for nominations, which he shared on Twitter.

In his Monday morning email to David, Avenatti said that while the results polygraphs are not typically admissible in court, they are routinely used in the federal government for granting security clearances.

He then warned in a subsequent tweet that his client has previously worked within government agencies, including the Department of Justice, and has been granted multiple security clearances.

“The GOP and others better be very careful in trying to suggest that she is not credible,” he tweeted.

Avenatti said he’s still waiting for an answer form the Judiciary Committee as to whether the committee has asked Kavanugh's former classmate Mark Judge to appear to testify and if not, why.

1. Please folks, polygraphs are superstitious garbage.

Might as well offer Ouija board testimony.

There's a good reason they are not admissible in court, and it's not Republicans.
