WASHINGTON, D.C. - Christine Blasey Ford, who has made an unconfirmed allegation against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, reaching back 36 years ago, is now refusing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee will hold a special session on Monday and has invited both Kavanaugh and Ford to testify on the allegations. Only Kavanaugh has accepted.
Ford's attorneys sent a letter to committee chairman Sen. Charles Grassley which states that Ford's testimony would be premature until an FBI investigation is complete. Today, sources within the FBI have stated there is no reason for the FBI to investigate a 36-year-old allegation when Ford's statement changed and she refuses to testify under oath. There is no alleged crime.
