In the day between Sundance announcing a documentary about Brett Kavanaugh and the movie's premiere, its filmmakers say they received more tips about the Supreme Court justice's alleged misconduct.
Movie “Justice” digs into the sexual misconduct charges against Brett Kavanaugh — with more tips coming in.| Jan. 21, 2023, 3:33 p.m.Director Doug Liman has learned that making his first documentary — “Justice,” about the sexual misconduct accusations made against Brett Kavanaugh before he ascended to the U.S. Supreme Court — has parallels to the action movies he has done.
That job isn’t over, Liman and the film’s writer/producer, Amy Herdy, said. That’s because after festival programming director Kim Yutani announced “Justice” was a last-minute addition to Sundance’s lineup Thursday, the filmmakers said they received more tips regarding Kavanaugh and the accusations made against him by women he knew in high school and college.
What Liman and Herdy unearthed that has not been reported widely is that an FBI investigation — prompted by a request from Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, who briefly wavered on Kavanaugh’s nomination — found testimony from another Yale classmate about a third sexual misconduct accusation against Kavanaugh. That testimony, which is heard in the film, was either ignored or squelched by the Trump White House, the movie says.
The filmmakers said they expect to receive the same level of vitriol that hit Ford — who was subjected to mudslinging by Donald Trump, character assassination in partisan media and death threats.
