FROM 5 MINUTES AGO

Kavanaugh accuser given until 2:30 p.m. Saturday to decide whether to testify

 

The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee has given Christine Blasey Ford until midafternoon Saturday to respond on whether she will testify next week on her allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

 

The new deadline of 2:30 p.m. Saturday comes after the committee chairman, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, extended a previous deadline of 10 p.m. Friday night.

 

Grassley tweeted Friday night he โ€œgranted another extensionโ€ to Ford โ€œto decide if she wants to proceed with the statement she made last week to testify to the Senate.โ€ He was referring to Ford's account to The Washington Post on Sunday of the alleged assault by Kavanaugh when the two were teens in the Maryland suburbs in the 1980s.

 

The Republican committee chairman tweeted that he had granted Ford "five extensions" in setting terms for her testimony and he apologized to Kavanaugh, saying he's not normally so indecisive.
