Accuser Christine Ford’s attorneys said in an email to the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday that Ford is open to testifying next week–but not on Monday.
Once again, Christine Ford thinks she runs the Senate.
On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley wrote, citing Committee rules, that Christine Ford has until Friday morning at 10 AM to hand over her biography and prepared testimony if she wished to testify Monday.
Now Ford’s lawyers are demanding more time…
“As you are aware, she has been receiving death threats, which have been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and she and her family have been forced out of their home. She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety,” Ford’s attorney’s wrote in an email first reported by The New York Times.
FOX News Congress reporter Chad Pergram with more on the email Ford’s attorneys sent the Committee:
Letter from Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte: I would like to set up a call with you later today to discuss the conditions under which Dr. Christine Blasey Ford would be prepared to testify next week.

Ford’s lawyers once again call for a full investigation prior to her testimony.
Ford counsel to Judiciary Cmte: A hearing on Monday is not possible and the Committee’s insistence that it occur then is arbitrary in any event…Her strong preference continues to be for the Senate Judiciary Committee to allow for a full investigation prior to her testimony.

Christine Blasey Ford is trying to run the Senate with her outrageous demands.
Tuesday night Ford’s lawyers demanded the FBI conduct an investigation into the decades-old sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh prior to the Senate holding a hearing.
Christine Ford’s lawyer, Lisa Banks said in a statement Wednesday evening that the Committee’s stated plan to move forward with the hearing that has only two witnesses is not a fair or good faith investigation.
“There are multiple witnesses whose names have appeared publicly and should be included in any proceeding,” Ford’s attorney argued.
The Republicans need to put an end to this charade, hold the vote and confirm Judge Kavanaugh.
