Christine Ford Testifies Kavanaugh ‘Sexually Assaulted Me,’ Rejects Mistaken Identity Theory
By Fox News. Christine Blasey Ford, appearing in public for the first time Thursday to testify on her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, told lawmakers in no uncertain terms that the Supreme Court nominee “sexually assaulted me” and insisted she is not mistaking him for another person.
But in one curious exchange, Ford acknowledged she didn’t personally pay for the polygraph examination she took in August, and said she doesn’t know who did.
Thursday’s dramatic hearing was convened by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which plans to call back the nominee to address the accusations ahead of a potential vote in the coming days. Kavanaugh’s accuser voiced confidence, under sustained questioning, that the judge attacked her.
“So what you are telling us is that this could not be a case of mistaken identity?” Feinstein asked.
“Absolutely not,” Ford replied. She added she’s “100 percent” certain it was Kavanaugh who attacked her. (Read more from “Christine Ford Testifies Kavanaugh ‘Sexually Assaulted Me,’ Rejects Mistaken Identity Theory” HERE)

Brett Kavanaugh Admits to ‘Juvenile Misbehavior,’ Denies Sexual Assault in Testimony
By Washington Times. Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh will admit to “misbehavior” and excessive drinking during his high school years, but will tell the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday that he never sexually assaulted anyone then or since.
In the Supreme Court nominee’s prepared opening statement, shared by the committee on Wednesday, Judge Kavanaugh calls sexual assault “morally wrong” and “contrary to my religious faith.”
He said he does not question accuser Christine Blasey Ford’s claim that she was sexually assaulted at a high school party, but denied he was involved in any way.
“I spent most of my time in high school focused on academics, sports, church, and service. But I was not perfect in those days, just as I am not perfect today,” the judge says.
He adds: “I drank beer with my friends, usually on weekends. Sometimes I had too many. In retrospect, I said and did things in high school that make me cringe now. But that’s not why we are here today. What I’ve been accused of is far more serious than juvenile misbehavior. I never did anything remotely resembling what Dr. Ford describes.” (Read more from “Brett Kavanaugh Admits to ‘Juvenile Misbehavior,’ Denies Sexual Assault in Testimony” HERE)
