Kavanaugh Accuser Willing To Testify If Asked
A Senate committee may be forced to postpone its vote this week on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, while members explore fresh allegations of a decades-old sexual assault.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the committee's chairman, was scrambling Sunday to arrange staff telephone calls with Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who says Kavanaugh assaulted her at a party in the early 1980s when they were both students in high school.
"Her recollection of these events is crystal clear," Ford's attorney Lisa Banks told Morning Edition. "She will agree to participate in any proceedings that she's asked to participate in."

But White House counselor Kellyanne Conway took pains to display concern for Kavanaugh's accuser.
"This woman should not be insulted and she should not be ignored," Conway told Fox News. "This woman will be heard."
