Le sénat planifie un vote sur la nomination de Brett Kavanaugh vendredi

Même si des Républicains ont déjà affirmé que le témoignage de Christine Blasey Ford jeudi n'influencera pas leur choix, cela ne signifie ps nécessairement que les sénateurs voteront bel et bien vendredi. Selon les procédures, le vote doit être annoncé trois jours à l'avance. La situation peut donc théoriquement être modifiée après le témoignage de jeudi. Soucieux de ne pas se mettre à dos l'électorat féminin, les sénateurs républicains ont demandé à une femme d'interroger Mme Ford.

 “For Republicans to schedule a Friday vote on Brett Kavanaugh today, two days before Dr. Blasey Ford has had a chance to tell her story, is outrageous," said Sen Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the committee's ranking member. “First Republicans demanded Dr. Blasey Ford testify immediately. Now Republicans don’t even need to hear her before they move ahead with a vote."

Senate Republicans hired a female attorney to use as a questioner of Ford at Thursday's high-stakes hearing on a sexual assault allegation against Kavanaugh but are declining to release her name. Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told POLITICO on Tuesday that "we aren't announcing the name for her safety."

Asked if Republicans have received any indication of threats to the attorney they're preparing to use, Grassley said: "I don’t know, but I guess we’re just being cautious."

Une troisième femme contre Brett Kavanaugh? Micahel Avenatti avance que oui

L'avocat de Stormy Daniels serait maintenant impliqué dans le dossier de la confirmation de Brett Kavanaugh. Il affirme qu'une de ses clientes détient des informations crédibles.

 "Avenatti also claimed he had “significant evidence” to prove that Kavanaugh and Mark Judge — the classmate named by Christine Blasey Ford as being in the room when Kavanaugh allegedly assaulted her — “would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs.”

 In a follow up interview with Politico on Sunday, Avenatti said he is currently representing a group of people who can corroborate the allegations made against Kavanaugh. One member of the group is a victim, he said.

“She will testify, but before she does, she will likely appear on camera for an interview,” he told Politico, adding that the allegations are “not out of character from what Dr. Ford said.” He also shared an email he had sent to Chief Counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee Mike Davis and suggested in the contents of the email that the “targeting of women with alcohol/drugs” could allude to taking turns having sex with women when they were intoxicated, as Judge’s ex-wife outlined to the New Yorker."
