Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, considered moving to another country following Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement earlier this year, her husband says.

“Her mind-set was, ‘I’ve got this terrible secret...What am I going to do with this secret?’†he said.
