Brett Kavanaugh
Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in the 1980s, laid out her demands late Thursday for testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Ford’s lawyers reportedly emailed the Committee her conditions. The 51-year-old psychology researcher announced on Thursday via her attorney Debra Katz that a testimony on Monday, as had been scheduled earlier this week, was “not possible.” Katz cited the high number of threats her client has received in the last few days since coming forward with her accusation as a reason for the delay.
Katz also requested the Committee provide more details about the hearings next week in which Ford and Kavanaugh would testify. Among the questions the lawyer asked was whether Mark Judge, the other man involved in the alleged assault, would be subpoenaed.
