Senate Judiciary Committee lawmakers are “no closer to hearing” from the woman who accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her more than 30 years ago, according to a senior Republican.
Chairman Chuck Grassley gave Christine Blasey Ford a 2:30 p.m. Saturday deadline to accept his invitation to appear before the committee next Wednesday, following days of back-and-forth over the timing and conditions under which she might discuss her allegation about Kavanaugh. Her legal team accepted the invitation, but made clear they still want to negotiate the terms, drawing complaints from Republicans.
