Washington Post: Kavanaugh accuser comes forward

455

A woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct more than 30 years ago came forward publicly, detailing her allegations about the Supreme Court nominee in an interview with The Washington Post.

The paper said Christine Blasey Ford, a professor in California, reached out to the Post in July as Kavanaugh’s name appeared on short lists to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, but she opted not to speak with the Post on the record for weeks. As her private outreach to California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein became public over the past week, she decided to go ahead and speak out herself, the report said.
