Christine Blasey Ford may have had an encounter similar to the one she described in her claim of sexual assault by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Ford’s claim, which featured no evidence and was rebutted by all the witnesses she named, was a last-minute disruption to the confirmation process for Kavanaugh. Following a public hearing at which both testified and an FBI investigation into the claim, Kavanaugh was confirmed on Oct. 6 to the nation’s highest court.
