Brett kavanaugh accuser offers to testify to us senate
Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, has offered to testify to the US Senate about her allegations.
In a statement released on September 16, 2018, Ford's lawyers said that she was willing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is responsible for reviewing Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.
Ford's lawyers stated that she had been subjected to "intimidation and harassment" since her allegations became public, and that she was willing to cooperate with the Senate's investigation into her claims.
Ford's offer to testify comes after a number of Republican senators, including Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, had expressed skepticism about her allegations and had called for her to come forward to testify.
Ford's allegations against Kavanaugh date back to the 1980s, when she claims that he sexually assaulted her at a party in Maryland. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations, and his supporters have questioned Ford's credibility and motives.
Ford's offer to testify is seen as a significant development in the controversy surrounding Kavanaugh's nomination, and it could potentially impact the outcome of his confirmation process.
Here is the full statement from Ford's lawyers:
"We are willing to cooperate with the Senate Judiciary Committee and any other appropriate investigative body to ensure that the truth is revealed about Brett Kavanaugh's conduct. We are willing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we are willing to cooperate with any other investigation that is conducted.
We understand that the Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled a hearing for September 27, and we are willing to testify at that hearing. We are also willing to cooperate with any other investigation that is conducted, including any investigation that is conducted by the FBI.
We believe that it is important for the truth to be revealed about Brett Kavanaugh's conduct, and we are willing to do our part to ensure that that happens. We hope that the Senate Judiciary Committee and any other investigative body will take our allegations seriously and will conduct a thorough and fair investigation.
We also want to make it clear that we are not seeking to delay or obstruct the confirmation process. We are simply seeking to ensure that the truth is revealed about Brett Kavanaugh's conduct, and we are willing to cooperate with any investigation that is conducted to achieve that goal."
