PChristine Blasey Ford, the California professor claiming that US President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her nearly 36 years ago, on Wednesday demanded a “full investigation” by the FBI before she attends any Congressional hearing or “interrogation” into her accusations.
Kavanaugh’s nomination plunged into chaos after Ford, 51, told ‘The Washington Post’ that she was subjected to a sexual assault by Kavanaugh, 53, in high school in the early 1980s.
The Supreme Court nominee has rejected as “completely false” the sexual assault allegation, saying he was ready to testify before a Senate committee to “defend my integrity”.
The new development appeared to have put in jeopardy the September 24 Congressional hearing when both Ford, clinical psychology professor at Palo Alto University, and Judge Kavanaugh are scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
