Friend of Dr. Ford Felt Pressure to Revisit Statement

A friend of Christine Blasey Ford told FBI investigators that she felt pressured by Dr. Ford’s allies to revisit her initial statement that she knew nothing about an alleged sexual assault by a teenage Brett Kavanaugh, which she later updated to say that she believed but couldn’t corroborate Dr. Ford’s account, according to people familiar with the matter.

When you think it's ok to kill an innocent baby while in the womb, it's not hard to kick it and abuse it after the baby grows up. Treating any human as "less than" another has shocking cultural consequences.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Christine Ford threw her under the bus.' Strained 'sex assault' witness Leland Keyser is seen for the first time as close family member confirms she did NOT corroborate school friend Ford's story to FBI

A weary-looking Leland Keyser was seen for the first time since Christine Ford named her as a corroborating witness to claims Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her

Keyser, 52, whom Ford described as her 'best friend' at Holton-Arms preparatory school in Bethesda, Maryland, was her final hope for corroboration

However, the former pro golfer couldn't corroborate Ford's story when she was interviewed by the FBI on Saturday

Pictured in DailyMailTV exclusive photos for the first time since news Ford named her, Keyser showed the stress of being put into the national spotlight

The close relative expressed anger at Ford's suggestion that Keyser could not recall the party because of the 'significant health challenges'

The 'health challenges' have not impaired her memory but being caught up in the Kavanaugh scandal has proved physically trying

The relative said: 'Leland is not a well woman. She has had years of injuries that have seen her have 14 operations. She just wants to get better'

The Federal Tax Administration (FTA) said on Friday it had for the first time exchanged financial account data at the end of September under global standards that aim to crack down on tax cheats.
