Trump keeps repeating a false claim about Kavanaugh's academic past at Yale

President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed - falsely - that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was the highest-ranked member of both his undergraduate class and law school class at Yale.

Kavanaugh did not graduate at the top of his undergraduate class - he finished cum laude - somewhere among the second quarter of the class.

And Yale Law School does not rank or give conventional grades to its students.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly cited Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's "sterling" academic record in defending his pick from attacks on his integrity and character throughout his confirmation process, which has been derailed by sexual misconduct allegations.
