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.

Leland Keyser, who Dr. Ford has said was present at the gathering where she was allegedly assaulted in the 1980s, told investigators that Monica McLean, a retired Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and a friend of Dr. Ford’s, had urged her to clarify her statement, the people said.  .  .  .

Can you say "Witness tampering"?

I can, and I can also say 'witness bullying.'  There should be consequences for some of these actions.

Ford's friend felt pressured to make a more favorable statement on alleged Kavanaugh assault: Report
by Katelyn Caralle
 | October 05, 2018 08:37 AM



A friend of Christine Blasey Frod who initially said she knew nothing about the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh said she felt pressure to change her statement to say she believed Ford but couldn’t corroborate the allegations.

Leland Keyser told investigators that retired FBI agent and Ford’s friend, Monica McLean, urged her to clarify her statement, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

Ford has said Keyser was present at the high school get together where the alleged assault took place.

On Sept. 23, Keyser’s lawyer sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee claiming she had no recollection of attending a party where Kavanaugh was present. The letter also said Keyser did not know Kavanaugh.

That same day, Keyser told the Washington Post that she believed Ford. A few days later, after Ford and Kavanaugh testified before the committee, Keyser’s lawyer sent another letter claiming his client was not refuting Ford’s account of the incident and that she believed Ford but could not corroborate the allegations.

If this were a trial would this be witness tampering?
