Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley announced Thursday night that he asked Arizona county sex crimes prosecutor, Rachel Mitchell, to question Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser this week.

Mitchell is a sex crimes bureau chief for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in Phoenix, Ariz., and is the GOP’s choice to question Christine Blasey Ford in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee in Thursday’s hearing.
