Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, will speak to the FBI on Friday in San Francisco about the death threats against her, a source close to Ford tells CNN.
The FBI investigation pertains only to the threats Ford has received since coming public with her allegations last weekend; it is not about the assault accusations against the Supreme Court nominee.
Ford has alleged that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the early 1980s by pushing her into a bedroom at a party and attempting to remove her clothes. Kavanaugh has categorically denied the allegation.
Democrats, and Ford, have pressed for an FBI investigation into the alleged incident, while Republicans and the White House have resisted calls for an FBI inquiry and have said that the Senate Judiciary Committee can handle an investigation into the allegations.
Lawyers for Ford told Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley in a letter earlier this week that she has faced death threats that have compelled her family to leave their home.
"She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home. Her email has been hacked, and she has been impersonated online," the letter said.
CNN has previously reported that Kavanaugh and his family have also received death threats.
Why don’t they just get a statement from her while there?
Lying to federal agent = federal crime.
there should not be death threats
but
she’s such an apparent liar...it all reeks of dishonesty, imho
Maybe I’m just evil.
When I saw the Headline my first thought was “I wonder who she threatened to kill?”
So she gets her FBI investigation after all. Maybe this will satisfy her.
Lock this crazy bitch up about one nanosecond after she files a false report.
"She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home. Her email has been hacked, and she has been impersonated online."
When you play with fire, you might get burned.
After that, a judge from Hawaii will issue a gag order just because...
Bullshit, 100%
-—...vicious harassment and even death threats...-—
Very likely another lie. Or gross exaggeration.
My prediction: she’ll now get the fbi to delay the hearing so that...they can investigate! And they will take their sweet time in doing it.
Preposterous? Sure, but remember Ford has plenty of ideological kindred spirits there we have painfully already learned.
This little twit just made the entire Republican Party look like a bunch of fools.
Same here. She IS that crazy.
Drama queen
“... while Republicans and the White House have resisted calls for an FBI inquiry...”
Total BS!!!!!!!!
The FBI refused to investigate....
Partisan press lies by omission
But, not one regarding Kavanaugh.
Does anyone care about the death threats Kavanaugh’s wife has been getting? She’s a woman, too. Oh; I forgot. Only Democrat women count.
I know this IS BS because our side NEVER behaves this way!!
What are they doing about the REAL Threats the Kavanaugh Family has received.
Judge Kavanaugh is a Federal Judge. Anyone who threatens him or his Family should be rounded up and Tried on Federal Charges.
How about the FBI redeem their name and get the good Dr to swear out a warrant for Difi’s arrest for slander ?
Did she fly there?
