The Senate Judiciary will hold a public hearing with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who has accused him of sexual assaulting her in high school, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a source close to the confirmation process told BuzzFeed News.
The announcement comes just a day after Ford came forward publicly with allegations that Kavanaugh held her down on a bed at a party in high school, tried to force himself on her, and covered her mouth when she tried to scream. Kavanaugh has emphatically denied the allegations.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office said they were not aware of the hearing.
