As the Senate Judiciary Committee staff negotiates with attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of a past sexual assault, over a potential hearing on Thursday, Republican staffers are working to interview those who may have information about the alleged incident.
CNN has learned that the committee has reached out to a longtime friend of Ford named Leland Ingham Keyser.
On Saturday night, her lawyer, Howard Walsh, released a statement to CNN and the Senate Judiciary Committee..
“Simply put,” Walsh said, “Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford.”
The lawyer acknowledged to CNN that Keyser is a lifelong friend of Ford’s.
Keyser is the latest person alleged to be at the party to say she has no recollection of it.
“I understand that you have been identified as an individual who was in attendance at a party that occurred circa 1982 described in a recent Washington Post article,” a committee staffer wrote Keyser earlier this week.
Kavanaugh has vehemently denied the allegations, telling sources he was “flabbergasted” when he learned of them.
“This is a completely and totally false allegation,” he said after Ford came forward. “I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone.”
In addition, two others have issued statements.
“I have no memory of this alleged incident,” said Mark Judge in a September 18 letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee. He said he did not recall the party and never saw Brett Kavanaugh act in the matter Ford describes.

It does not matter that the charges are bogus.
It is the seriousness of the charge that matters . . .
It doesn’t matter, the left is a cult. They’re not going to let facts stand in the way of their cultist politics.
If this doesn’t convince the three blind RINOs...
And even with this letter Grassley continues to “negotiate” ie..get walked over.
Total farce that is ripping the country to shreds.
She may be bat guano crazy.
This is turning out not to be a case of “she said. he said” but a case of “she said and everyone else denied it”
Little different than Beria, Stalin’s head of the secret police who said ...show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.
he’s a democratic party lap dog, nothing else
The best part of this debacle is that the Democrats have so badly discredited themselves. By the time the next court vacancy opens, President Trump will be able to nominate a Klansman without any objections from the Democrats.
It does not matter that the charges are bogus.
It does not matter the seriousness of the charge.
It's the political party of the accused that matters.
Maybe they can all go through quack therapy like Ford did, then they will remember it.
Because, unlike CBF’s likely lucrative book deal and national punditry circus, these people would have ‘real lives’ and they don’t want to lie for her under oaths.
Judge Judy would lash the ‘no evidence’ accuser into oblivion and be done with the matter but the feckless senators coddle this leftist liar like a long lost puppy.
At this point we have to start considering the outlandish possibility that Christine Buzzy Ford is a Trump operative who orchestrated this whole thing for the sole purpose of embarrassing the sh!t out of Dianne Feinstein and the Democrats.
I don’t know about you, but I am pumped for Ford’s testimony. There might be a reason she’s been so hidden thus far, with no recent photographs or softball media interviews with Anderson Cooper or whatever. I hope she’s an embarrassing nutcase, but let’s be honest, even if she is, liberals and some of the media will still call her testimony “powerful” and “compelling.”
