Grassley Targets Ford’s Attorneys: Hand Over Ford’s Therapy Notes. UPDATE: Ford’s Attorneys: You’ll Just Have To Wait.

On Tuesday night, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to the attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault 36 years ago, asking them to turn over notes from Ford’s therapy sessions and recordings of the lie detector test she took. As The Wall Street Journal reported, Grassley believes that Ford’s attorneys have withheld pertinent evidence regarding Ford’s allegations.

Grassley noted that an anonymous former boyfriend of Ford’s had issued a sworn statement alleging he saw Ford help her friend prepare for a lie detector test. Last week, testifying before the Judiciary Committee, Ford denied ever having spoken to someone other than her lawyers about how to take a lie detector test, saying, “Never.” Asked if she had ever discussed tips on taking a lie detector test, Ford answered, “No.”
