Brett Kavanaugh knows truth of alleged sexual assault, Christine Blasey Ford says in book [View all]
The US supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh is not a consummately honest person and must know what really happened on the night more than 40 years ago when he allegedly sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford, his accuser writes in an eagerly awaited memoir.
A research psychologist from northern California, Ford was thrust into the spotlight in September 2018 as Kavanaugh, a Bush aide turned federal judge, became Donald Trumps second conservative court nominee. Her allegations almost derailed Kavanaughs appointment and created headlines around the world.
Fords memoir, One Way Back, will be published next week. The Guardian obtained a copy.
The fact is, he was there in the room with me that night in 1982, Ford writes. And I believe he knows what happened. Even if its hazy from the alcohol, I believe he must know.
Once he categorically denied my allegations as well as any bad behavior from his past during a Fox News interview, I felt more certainty than ever that after my experience with him, he had not gone on to become the consummately honest person befitting a supreme court justice.
Kavanaughs nomination became mired in controversy after a Washington Post interview in which Ford said Kavanaugh, while drunk, sexually assaulted her at a party in Montgomery county, Maryland, when they were both in high school.

He knows. He just prefers not to say.
