A man named Max Stier recently entered the news cycle after New York Times reported that he claims to have witnessed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh involve himself in an indecent sexual act during a college party when he was a student at Yale University. The Times also mentioned that Stier had notified the FBI and senators about his allegations during the confirmation hearings for Kavanaugh but added that the FBI decided not to investigate his claims and Stier declined to speak about the matter publicly.

However, it turned out that the female student said to have been the victim in the alleged incident did not speak with Times reporters, and the Times later added an editor’s note to the article stating that her “friends say she does not recall the episode.” On top of that, Stier’s account itself reportedly made it to the Times second-hand. Now the story is out of the news cycle. But who was this Max Stier?

Stier and Kavanaugh not only overlapped at Yale (where Stier received his undergraduate degree), the two later crossed paths in the early stages of their legal careers in the 1990s: while Kavanaugh was working for then-Independent Counsel Ken Starr, the man who wrote a report establishing grounds for Bill Clinton’s impeachment, Stier was working for Williams & Connolly, the firm that represented former President Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
