Actions by congressional Democrats and the attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford—Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser—probably influenced Ford’s account of the events, according to a memo drafted by Rachel Mitchell, the former sex-crimes prosecutor who questioned Ford.

In the memo sent to Republican senators, Mitchell concluded that “the activities of congressional Democrats and Dr. Ford’s attorneys likely affected Dr. Ford’s account.”
