Absent Deal With Accuser, Panel to Vote Monday on Kavanaugh
WASHINGTON —
The chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee said late Friday that if a deal on testimony from Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, could not be reached by 10 p.m. EDT, the panel would vote on his nomination Monday.
"I'm extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o'clock this evening, the Iowa Republican said in a statement. "I'm providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford's attorneys don't respond or
Dr. Ford decides not to testify."
