The woman who says President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee sexually assaulted her in high school has a deadline to inform Senators she’d like to testify at a hearing on Monday.
FOX’s Rachel Sutherland reports:
Christine Blasey Ford wants the FBI to investigate before a hearing… So far, President Trump has declined to get the agency involved, something Democratic Senator Doug Jones questions:
(Jones): “Why is there a reluctance to get the FBI involved? That’s what they do.”
Democrats say Republicans are rushing to a hearing. Senate Judiciary Committee chair Chuck Grassley defends the timeline:
(Grassley): “We’ve got to have time to plan for a hearing and if it’s going to come off, there is a certain time we’ve got to notify people.”
Some Republicans have signaled they’re ready to move on and vote if Ford decides not to testify on Monday.
