On a wednesday night. Good evening from our nbc headquarters in new york. Day six of eight in the repub of the Trump Administration and Christine Blasey ford is turning up the heat. She is accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were both at a high school party. She must decide if she will testify before the Senate Judiciary committee on monday about her allegation. In a letter from her attorney today, chairman senator grassley of iowa wrote, quote, you have said repeatedly that dr. Ford wants to tell her story. I sincerely hope dr. Ford will accept my invitation to do so either privately or publicly on monday. I must remind you that dr. Fords prepared testimony and buy biography are due on friday, september 21 if she intends to testify on monday. But ford insisted the fbi investigate her allegation before she testified, a request that grassley has already rejected. He did offer to send Committee Staff to california to speak with ford. Tonight fords attorney relea
Because im just trying to make the most sense of it. I think when you talk about the impact of what happened today, even without us know wlag this is going to do to the kavanaugh confirmation, i think you have to start with this. Nobody has ever been confirmed to the federal judiciary in the United States after anything even close to this happened in the u. S. Senate while that nominee was being assessed for the job.

Since my nomination in july, there has been a frenzy on the left to come up with something, anything to block my confirmation. People have been willing to do anything to make any physical threat against my family, to send any violent email to my wife, to make any kind of allegation against me and against my friends, to blow me up and take me down. You sowed the wind for decades to come i fear that the w
Confident that Senate Republicans will manage this confirmation properly, with the utmost respect for all concerned and i believe that judge Brett Kavanaugh will soon be justice Brett Kavanaugh. Arthel we have fox team coverage. Ellison barber is in Berkeley Heights, new jersey, here President Trumps golf club in bedminster, where the president is spending the weekend. But we begin with Garrett Tenney who has the latest from washington. Garrett . Well, arthel, this around attorneys for Christine Ford once again informed the Judiciary Committee that she is willing to testify next week. The letter states, quote, dr. Ford accepts the committees request to provide her firsthand knowledge of Brett Kavanaughs Sexual Misconduct next week. Although many aspects of the proposal you provided via email on september 21st are fundamental inconsistent with the committees promise of a fair impartial investigation into her allegations and we are disappointed with the leaks and the bullying that are in

Now, senator murkowski had women fly down from alaska to try to influence her vote, and it seems as though succeeded. We will be talking to two of those women later this hour. Senate rules allow the video camera shots of individual senators only when those senators are on their feet speaking. And so there is no video of senator murkowski as she entered the Senate Chamber having just made
