==Edward Whelan==
Edward Whelan is the current president. In 2018 during the period of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing for Supreme Court of the United States, Kavanaugh was accused of sexually attacking a 15-year old girl when he was a 17-year old. The victim, (now a psychologist and statistics professor), remembered details of the incident and also named a witness. Whelan cooked up a theory that a different boy from Kavanaugh's school committed the attack and went so far as to name him without providing any evidence whatsoever, something that could be considered defamation.Ed Whelan, Judge Kavanaugh’s Defender, Just Committed Defamation by Jay Michaelson (09.21.18 6:08 AM ET) The Daily Beast. Never mind the Commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." A PR firm, CRC Public Relations, apparently helped Whelan cook up this mess.
