Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley has set a 10 a.m. Friday morning deadline for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to decide whether she will testify about her allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her at a high school party when she was 15 years old. But Dr. Blasey Ford's lawyers say an FBI investigation into her claims should be conducted first. Attorney Lisa Banks issued a statement Wednesday saying, "The rush to a hearing is unnecessary, and contrary to the committee discovering the truth." We get response from journalist Sarah Posner, reporting fellow at the Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute.
