The California professor who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault has reached an agreement with the Senate Judiciary Committee on some details of her upcoming testimony, but not on who will question her.
Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys issued a statement Sunday after achieving what they described as "important progress on our call this morning with Senate Judiciary Committee staff members."
The hearing will be open and will start at 10 a.m. Thursday."Despite actual threats to her safety and her life, Dr. Ford believes it is important for senators to hear directly from her about the sexual assault committed against her," the lawyers' statement reads.
Kavanaugh has strongly denied Ford's accusation, calling it "a completely false allegation."
In addition, a source familiar with the conversation between Ford's attorney's and committee staffers told ABC News that although Ford's lawyers want Kavanaugh to testify before her they accept the committee leadership's position that the Supreme Court nominee will be heard after his accuser.
