Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said that he will not postpone Thursday’s hearing with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

The announcement came in response to a request from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who urged on Sunday for the hearing to be postponed in light of new allegations against Kavanaugh from Deborah Ramirez, which she requested be referred to the FBI.
