The attorney for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser threw Thursday’s Congressional hearings into doubt this week; saying there were serious concerns over the “fairness” of the proceedings.
The lawyer for Christine Blasey Ford sent the strongly-worded letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley; questioning the format of the hearings after Sen. Mitch McConnell called the allegations against Kavanaugh a “smear campaign.”
“We are finding it difficult to reconcile your letter and [staff member Mike Davis’] note with the Majority Leader’s speech this afternoon on the Senate floor. As Dr. Blasey Ford has been clear since her experience was first made public, she came forward because she believes it is her civic duty to tell the truth about the sexual assault she experienced,” wrote her attorney.
“This hearing plan that Mr. Davis described does not appear designed to provide Dr. Blasey Ford with fair and respectful treatment,” added the lawyer. “In our view, the hiring of an unnamed ‘experienced sex crimes prosecutor,’ as Mr. Davis described in his email, is contrary to the Majority’s repeated emphasis on the need for the Senate and this Committee’s members to fulfill their constitutional obligations.”
