Republicans "intend to play hard ball" with Brett Kavanaugh accuser, her lawyer says
Debra Katz, the attorney for the woman who has stepped forward as writing a letter alleging sexual misconduct by Judge Brett Kavanaugh when they were both high school students, says that Senate Republicans intend to "play hard ball" with her client as they prepare to move ahead with Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court. Katz, speaking to "CBS This Morning" on Monday, said that members of the majority intend on "grilling" her client about her allegations.
Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University in California, detailed her alleged encounter in the 1980's with Kavanaugh in an interview with the Washington Post published on Sunday. Ford told the Post that she felt a "civic responsibility" to come forward now as Kavanaugh is in line to become the next Supreme Court Justice.
Kavanaugh has denied the incident took place. "I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time," he said in a statement released by the White House last week
Asked if Ford was willing to testify before the committee on the allegations, Katz said she was was "willing to do whatever is necessary" to make sure the committee has the "full story."
