asking the questions and follow-up questions. that did not occur today as you noted because the democrats object to the process. they don t believe the process is fair. we don t believe the process is fair. that s why you have to have the fbi involve. that s why you have to have a thorough and fair investigation, and that s why ultimately you have to have a cross-examination. i said this earl ier and i m going to say it again, if brett kavanaugh would like to cross examine my client i ll take half the amount of time to cross examine brett kavanaugh. we ll make that trade right now. in addition, my client is prepared to take and i m sure pass a polygraph examination provided brett kavanaugh will take and pass a polygraph examination. i m confident they won t take us up on that either. you got donald trump s attention today. he s always been more than
investigation, which is what we want. we are not laying out all of the facts and all the evidence right now. that s not our obligation. we are raising a complaint detailed enough for an investigation. we want an investigation. this woman wants to take a polygraph examination and has agreed to do so if brett kavanaugh will do so. this is a search for the truth and we don t understand why brett kavanaugh and the committee is hiding evidence and facts and they don t want the truth to be known. your client says she told two other people shortly after the gang rape that she has outlined. you have spoken to the people? i will not get into the details who i spoke to or not, alisyn, but i will say this woman is fully vetted and i have spoken to a number of corroborating witnesses relating to what my client has stated. she is believable and 100% credible. here s the other thing i will say. the idea that all of these women
can you explain for us how the test is administered? i understand she told her full accounts of the allegations first. sure. polygraph is essentially three phases. you have your pretest, your preinterview phase. that s when you discuss the matter at hand. you talk we talked about the allegations. that process can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. you explain the polygraph. you want to assess the person, make sure she s fit to take a polygraph examination. so the interview prior to the exam, she described the allegations that happened that night. following the interview, you normally take a short break. if the person needs to use the restroom, get something to drink. that s when you have your second phase, the actual testing phase. you review every question you re going to ask on the polygraph test with the person taking the exam. so dr. ford knew every question. she was clear with the questions
kavanaugh meet with the fbi agents and have brett kavanaugh take a polygraph examination as my client is willing to do, and have mark judge take a polygraph examination as my client is will t willing to do. and it is one thing to issue statements through spokespeople to news media outlets and anybody can do that, but they need to step up and be examined and be questioned and then let s let america decide who is telling the truth. i want to be clear about something, i will put my client s credibility up against mark judge or brett kavanaugh s credibility any day of the week. in the declaration, your client julie swetnick says that she shared the experience after the 1982 al alleged gang rape with two other people, and she is also aware of other witnesses who can athe toast the truthfulness of each of the statements, and 14 statements in the declaration. are you prepared to share who those witnesseses are or are you going to be putting them forward? at the appropriate time, we
has been recognized in the legal community for her experience and objectivity. this afternoon for its attorneys provided the committee with a copy of a polygraph examination done with their client in early august. it concluded it is the professional opinion of this examiner that a response to the above relevant questions are not indicative of deception. kavanaugh s attorney submitted his old calendars to show he did not attend a party like the one she described. example, may 1982 kavanaugh s calendar shows he cut the grass on the third and he marked that he went to his friend timmy s party at the beach on the 22nd. professor ford in her repaired though my prepared remarks will tell lawmakers she doesn t remember as much or she would like to but the details she does remember she will never forget. bret: full coverage of that hearing tomorrow. thanks. a short time ago i talked with judge kavanaugh s attorney, beth wilkinson. bret: there are no calls, not only the senate minority
