Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her, cannot move back to her home due to the volume of death threats she is still receiving, her lawyers told NBC on Sunday.
One of Ford's attorneys, Debra Katz, told NBC's Kasie Hunt that it's going to be "quite some time" before Ford and her family can return home.
"Her family has been through a lot," Katz said. "They are not living at home. It’s going to be quite some time before they’re able to live at home. The threats have been unending. It’s deplorable."
"It’s been very frightening," Katz added.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys tell @kasie that Ford is still not living at home and can't for "quite some time."
She is still receiving "unending" death threats.
— Kasie DC (@KasieDC) October 7, 2018 Ford two weeks ago publicly testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegation that Kavanaugh pinned her down and tried to take off her clothes, at one point allegedly pressing his hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming, during a high school party in 1982.
Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Saturday after a bruising battle that also involved sexual misconduct allegations from two other women.
Kavanaugh vehemently denied all of the allegations.
Ford's lawyers during the NBC interview denounced the one-week FBI investigation into the women's accusations, saying it was not thorough. The FBI reportedly did not interview Ford or Kavanaugh as part of the probe.
Hunt asked Katz and Ford's other attorney Lisa Banks if they believe Ford was treated better than Anita Hill, the woman who publicly testified in 1991 about her accusation that then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her. Ford's allegations and her treatment were frequently compared to Hill's during the confirmation battle.
Hill's hearing was preceded by a three-day FBI investigation.
"With Anita Hill, there was a full FBI investigation before there was ever a hearing," Banks said. "That did not occur here. This process was far worse."
"We thought it was bad back in 1991, and it's even worse today, the political climate and how women are treated." - Dr. Ford's attorney Lisa Banks
— Kasie DC (@KasieDC) October 7, 2018 Banks and Katz said Ford was "horrified" by President Trump's comments about her last week, during which he mocked Ford's testimony in an attempt to undermine her credibility.
"She was upset by it, yes, as any woman would be who’s the victim of sexual assault who was mocked and belittled by anyone, never mind the president of the United States," Banks said.
Many Republican leaders who voted for Kavanaugh's confirmation, such as key swing vote Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), have said they believe Ford was attacked as a teenager but do not believe Kavanaugh was her assailant.
Banks on NBC said Ford "knows" who assaulted her.
"She testified she knew him, he knew her, and she knows exactly who sexually assaulted her on that day," Banks said.
There was another gofundme for security costs. It was over 200k when I saw it a week ago.
The vast majority of us do not give a shi...er...Obama.
May she sleep in her excrement.
I’d bet 99% of the ‘death threats’ are from socialist dems posing as “conservative Trump supporters”.
Look for a house with two front doors that isn’t aesthetically pleasing looking from the street.
FORD IS A LIAR! She never had anything happen to her by Kavanaugh or anyone else. She is just another of the countless professional victims.
Well 2 weeks ago her Attorney and Ford said she was talking to the FBI about the threats she was receiving has the FBI found anyone who made the threats?
I’ll bet the neighbors aren’t too happy with the Ford household, and all the crap they brought to the neighborhood. Christine, don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothin’.
I bet the home is for rent on airBnB right now.
Has the FBI been called to investigate?
Nah, she only reports crimes to the MSM.
Dr. Ford is a POS liar!
I’ll believe she is getting death threat when she reports it to authorities and they actually arrest and try someone for the crime she alleges. Soon, not 3 decades from now.
If there are 'death threats' at all.
The media sure didn’t
Too focused on his yearbook and “ temperament”
Guys must’ve dragged hundred dollar bills on the grounds of Holton Arms
After you find George Zimmerman a good job I might feel some pity for your client.
I wonder where that Katz lives? Would be great to gather and protest her before she’s off to prison.
No wonder the fund raised so much
NEXT
The way Ford’s memory runs, she won’t remember any of it in two months.
I think the professor reviews are for someone else
I think the professor reviews are for someone else
And you know.....all through this, she has shown little concern for her family.....it's all about po wittle her.
