Christine Blasey Ford Will Testify on Thursday
PoliticsDespite being broadsided in the media and receiving death threats, just as she had anticipated she would–and Doxxed and forced to flee her home–Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has announced via her attorneys that she will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee as to her allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her while they were in high school. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations and has also agreed to testify. The open hearing will take place on Thursday at 10 AM.
Ford’s attorneys have criticized the committee for neglecting to subpoena Kavanaugh’s friend Mark Judge, whom Ford has claimed helped Kavanaugh to corner her and hold her down. (Judge has denied the allegations). Her counsel also states that the judiciary committee have refused to hear from other witnesses “who are essential for a fair hearing that arrives at the truth about the sexual assault.” According to CNN, her attorneys and Democrats will continue to fight for those witnesses to be heard, though Republican committee chairman Chuck Grassley has released a statement saying that the committee alone will decide whom to call without any outside input.
