Ford ‘accepts’ request to testify about alleged Kavanaugh assault, lawyers request Thursday hearing
Kavanaugh sexual assault accuser WILL testify in front of Senate Judiciary Committee: Dr Blasey Ford 'accepts request to provide her first-hand knowledge of SCOTUS nominee's sexual misconduct'
- News of Christine Blasey Ford's decision to testify came just as the Senate Judiciary Committee's extension ran out at 2.30pm EST Saturday
- A statement from Ford's lawyers said: 'Dr Ford accepts the Committee's request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct'
- She is expected to appear in front of the committee on Wednesday
- Senator Chuck Grassley reluctantly gave Ford the extension Friday night
- Attorney Debra Katz called Friday's deadline for a response 'arbitrary', saying 'its sole purpose is to bully' Ford
- Grassley said the panel will vote to confirm Kavanaugh Monday without an agreement between Ford's lawyers and the Senate Judiciary Committee
