The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee is reportedly questioning the reliability of the memory of a woman accusing Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.<\/p>\n
As the\u00a0Daily Caller<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0reported,\u00a0Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. \u2014 the panel’s ranking member \u2014\u00a0told reporters Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0the trauma of the event that California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford described may have adversely affected her memory.<\/p>\n Fox News reporter Chad Pergram\u00a0tweeted<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that Feinstein \u2014 via a colleague \u2014 says Ford is a person “profoundly impacted on this . . . I can’t say that everything is truthful. I don’t know.”<\/p>\n Earlier Tuesday, Feinstein criticized Republicans for\u00a0rushing the pace<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of the hearings for Kavanaugh’s confirmation, comparing them to the “mistakes” of the 1991 testimony of Anita Hill against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.<\/p>\n In her statement, she also lashed out at GOP Senate members for limiting public testimony at a scheduled hearing Monday to just Kavanaugh and Ford.<\/p>\n “Chairman [Sen. Charles] Grassley [R-Iowa on Tuesday] said there would be only two witnesses invited to testify at the Kavanaugh hearing next week on sexual assault allegations,” Feinstein said in a statement,\u00a0NBC News\u00a0reported.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “Compare that to the 22 witnesses at the 1991 Anita Hill hearing\u00a0and it’s impossible to take this process seriously.”<\/p>\n
