Friday Morning Vote Scheduled To Advance Kavanaugh Nomination

The Senate Judiciary Committee is planning to hold a vote on Friday morning to advance the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. The vote will come just one day after Thursday's hearing to address a sexual assault allegation levied against Kavanaugh.  

During that hearing both Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford are expected to testify. Ford claims Kavanaugh pinned her down and groped her during a party when they were in high school. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations and says that he is eager to clear his name. 

Senate Republicans have hired a female attorney to question Ford during the hearing. They have not released her name due to concerns over her safety. Even Ford's legal team does not know the identity of the lawyer and asked to be informed who would be questioning their client, according to emails obtained by The Washington Times

“Please let us know if you have similarly withheld the name of this person from Mr. Kavanaugh and his counsel. If you have not, which we assume to be the case, can you please explain the disparate treatment? Please also advise whether Mr. Kavanaugh and his counsel have been given an opportunity to meet with this individual. We would similarly like the opportunity to meet with her at her soonest availability.”
