BREAKING: Christine Blasey Ford’s Lawyers Seek Extension of Grassley’s 10 PM Deadline
Senate Republicans made a counteroffer to Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser Christine Blasey Ford early Friday afternoon.
Ford’s lawyers had until 10 PM Friday to work out the terms for next week’s hearing, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said Friday evening.
The accuser responded through her lawyers shortly before the 10 PM deadline Friday evening.
Ford’s attorney’s are seeking a delay–SHOCKER!
Via Politico:
Attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford on Friday night decried an “arbitrary” deadline set by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for her to respond to negotiations to testify about her sexual assault allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, seeking an additional day to reply.
“Its sole purpose is to bully Dr. Ford and deprive her of the ability to make a considered decision that has life-altering implications for her and her family,” Katz wrote in an email obtained by POLITICO.
