Longtime friend of Christine Ford, Leland Keyser, said she was pressured by another friend of Ford’s, Monica McLean, a former FBI agent who was allegedly coached by Ford on how to take a polygraph, to revise a statement she issued refuting Ford’s claim that she was sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 1982.
Ford has claimed that at a small gathering in Maryland that year, when she was 15 and Kavanaugh was 17, she was assaulted by him. She has not been able to provide any evidence of her claim, and all the people she said were at the gathering have denied attending such a party.
