Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Monday that the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault deserves a public hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee.

“I think [a public hearing is] the only way to go at this point,” Durbin told CNN. “She has agreed to do it and it’s going to be very difficult, otherwise, to satisfy all the different things that have been said, contradictory things, as you noted, between judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford.”
