The Senate Judiciary Committee invited Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford to a public hearing next week after decades-old sexual assault allegations surfaced. Multiple sources have told Fox News Thursday’s committee confirmation vote has been postponed.
Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said the hearing will “give these recent allegations a full airing.”

Kavanaugh hearing to be seen through ‘MeToo’ lens: Judge Andrew Napolitano“As I said earlier, anyone who comes forward as Dr. Ford has done deserves to be heard,” Grassley said in a statement Monday, which noted he had tried to have the panel’s staff conduct phone interviews with both Kavanaugh and Ford.
Democrats, however, rejected the private interviews and wanted the FBI to investigate the allegations as part of the judge’s background investigation.
President Trump indicated earlier he was open to postponing the confirmation proceedings in Congress while allegations against Kavanaugh are investigated.
