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.

This is the democrats using rape accusations as a political tool. Now tell me which party takes woman seriously and which uses and then discards them.
now Ford’s lawyer is attacking the witness ford provided as proof this is laughable have the vote monday
Watch the Democrats start backing away from the story over the next week or so. At some point we are likely to have a sob-story from Feinstein explaining that Buzzy Ford was obviously an emotionally disturbed woman.
Can you post a quote or link here?
This is HUGE!
This really is a farce.
And it is actually insulting to think that the folks involved in orchestrating these shenanigans think the American public is stupid enough to believe this nonsense.
Then what the hell are we doing here?!?!
I wish I could share that optimism. Hope you’re right....but a loooong shot. Is Stormy an op for PDJT? I’ve read that possibility, too. My head is swimming.
I’m not suggesting it’s true, but I am pointing out that the Republicans couldn’t come up with a better strategy for embarrassing the Democrats than what the Democrats are doing to themselves. LMAO.
It wouldn’t look good to go after an emotionally disturbed woman who was put up to this crap by her political “friends.”
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.
= = = = = = = = =
Surely you jest....that is so outlandish that in today’s idiotic political climate, it would not be surprising.
When you can take a shooter - an OBVIOUS man - and give HIM id as a her, and call HIM her for a few days, then get a ‘BONUS’ that IT had a legally purchased gun - they thought they had their ‘prefect storm case’.
BUT if ‘THEY’ push the legal gun side the state will be found to be negligent in giving it to him...
AND if they continue to call HIM her, the hers will start to get upset.
SO, this ‘tragedy’ has probably already been dropped by the National Press....
Oh yes, since HE shot HIMSELF in the head TWICE, ‘they’ can’t blame some MALE, WHITE RACIST COP for shooting an innocent black girl that was confused.
Good Grief, if WE could have dreamed up these scenarios years ago would be rich with movie scripts BUT would have to specify it to be FICTION because NO ONE would believe it to be a true happening.
After reading this ***CNN*** report, does anyone here doubt that the GOP has done its homework to tear Buzzy Ford apart in a Senate hearing?
This “Ford” is heading into more serious legal crash. I don’t hope that she is wearing a seat belt.
As for her lawyer, disbarment would be a nice act of “justice” for the decent people of America.
According to Breitbart just now..Grassley has caved again and gave her Thursday to appear...wtf?
[Buzzy Ford was obviously an emotionally disturbed woman]
Is she competent to be a professor?
It was a joke.
