Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford is granted more time to consider testifying.

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of a sexual assault, has reportedly been granted an extension to the “deadline” she was given to testify about her experience before Congress. Earlier Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley gave Dr Ford a deadline of Friday to express her interest in testifying.
