THE POLITICAL FIGHT OVER 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SUPREME COURT 
NOMINEE IS GETTING UGLY AND 
QUICKLY.
WITH ONE SENATOR USING CHOICE 
WORDS JUST A SHORT TIME AGO TO 
DESCRIBE REPUBLICANS WHO NOW SAY
THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY 
CAN TO ACCOMMODATE THE ACCUSER.
JUDGE KAVANAUGH SEEN LEAVING HIS
HOME THIS MORNING, THERE REMAINS
A PUBLIC HEARING SET FOR MONDAY.
AND REPUBLICANS ARE PUTTING 
PRESSURE NOW ON DR. CHRISTINE 
BLASEY FORD TO COME FORWARD 
MONDAY, IF NOT, MANY SAY THEY 
WILL MOVE AHEAD WITH A VOTE.
AND "THE WASHINGTON POST" NOW 
REPORTING KAVANAUGH UNDERWENT 
PRACTICE SESSIONS, DRILLS AT THE
WHITE HOUSE TO PREPARE FOR 
QUESTIONING.
AND HIS ACCUSER TONIGHT NOW 
SAYING SHE HAS RECEIVED DEATH 
THREATS, HAS HAD TO MOVE HER 
FAMILY, HER CHILDREN TO A NEW 
LOCATION AND HAS HAD HER E-MAIL 
HACKED.
SHE WANTS AN FBI INVESTIGATION 
INTO HER ALLEGATION BEFORE SHE 
PUTS HERSELF OUT THERE IN FRONT 
OF SENATORS WHO WILL GRILL HER.
AND TONIGHT, THE PRESIDENT NOW 
SAYING OF THE ALLEGATION, QUOTE,
IT IS HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE 
THAT ANYTHING HAPPENED.
ABC'S CHIEF WHITE HOUSE 
CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL 
LEADING US OFF.
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SAYS HE WANTS TO HEAR FROM 
BRETT KAVANAUGH'S ACCUSER,
BUT THAT THE TIME TO TALK IS 
RUNNING OUT.
MR. PRESIDENT, IF KAVANAUGH DID 
WHAT HE'S ACCUSED OF DOING, 
WOULD THAT BE DISQUALIFYING?
>> I'D REALLY WANT TO SEE HER.
I REALLY WOULD WANT TO SEE WHAT 
SHE HAS TO SAY.
BUT I WANT TO GIVE IT ALL THE 
TIME THEY NEED.
IF SHE SHOWS UP, THAT WOULD BE 
WONDERFUL.
IF SHE DOESN'T SHOW UP, THAT 
WOULD BE UNFORTUNATE.
>> Reporter: CHRISTINE BLASEY 
FORD ALLEGES BRETT KAVANAUGH 
TRIED TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT HER 
WHEN THE TWO OF THEM WERE HIGH 
SCHOOL STUDENTS.
KAVANAUGH DENIES THE CHARGES.
AND THE PRESIDENT TODAY MADE IT 
CLEAR HE IS INCLINED TO BELIEVE 
HIM.
>> I CAN ONLY SAY THIS, HE IS 
SUCH AN OUTSTANDING MAN, VERY 
HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE THAT 
ANYTHING HAPPENED.
>> Reporter: FORD HAS NOT YET 
AGREED TO APPEAR BEFORE THE 
SENATE ON MONDAY.
IN A LETTER TO THE COMMITTEE 
CHAIRMAN, HER LAWYERS SAY HER 
LIFE HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE 
DOWN.
"HER WORST FEARS HAVE 
MATERIALIZED," THEY WRITE.
"SHE HAS BEEN THE TARGET OF 
VICIOUS HARASSMENT AND EVEN 
DEATH THREATS.
HER FAMILY WAS FORCED TO 
RELOCATE OUT OF THEIR HOME.
HER E-MAIL HAS BEEN HACKED."
HER LAWYERS ALSO SAY IT WOULD 
DIFFICULT FOR HER TO FACE 
"INTERROGATION BY SENATORS WHO 
APPEAR TO HAVE MADE UP THEIR 
MINDS THAT SHE IS MISTAKEN AND 
MIXED UP."
THAT A REFERENCE TO WHAT 
REPUBLICAN SENATOR ORRIN HATCH 
SAID EARLIER THIS WEEK WHEN 
ASKED IF HE BELIEVES KAVANAUGH'S
DENIAL.
>> CLEARLY SOMEBODY'S MIXED UP.
>> AND YOU BELIEVE HIM?
>> YEAH, I SURE DO.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE THE ACCUSER?
>> WELL, I THINK SHE'S MISTAKEN.
I THINK SHE'S MISTAKEN 
SOMETHING.
>> Reporter: SAMANTHA GARY, WHO 
WAS A GEND OF FORD'S IN HIGH 
SCHOOL, SAYS THERE IS NO WAY SHE
WAS MISTAKEN.
>> HE SAID, SHE MAY BE MISTAKING
HIM FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE 
HERE?
>> THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
THAT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.
I FIND THAT VERY, FRANKLY, IT 
MAKES ME ANGRY.
IT'S REALLY A WAY OF DISMISSING 
HER AND SUGGESTING THAT HER 
MEMORY ISN'T CLEAR.
>> Reporter: FORD'S LAWYERS WANT
THE FBI TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE 
SHE APPEARS ON CAPITOL HILL.
>> IF THEY CARE ABOUT DOING THE 
RIGHT THING HERE AND TREATING 
THIS SERIOUSLY, AS THEY HAVE 
SAID, THEN THEY WILL DO THE 
RIGHT THING AND THEY WILL 
PROPERLY INVESTIGATE THIS.
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT COULD
ORDER AN INVESTIGATION BUT HAS 
DECLINED TO SO.
THE FOCUS NOW IS ON JUDICIARY 
CHAIRMAN CHUCK GRASSLEY, WHO 
SAYS HE STILL HOPES FORD SHOWS 
UP AT HIS HEARING ON MONDAY.
>> WE'RE NOT GOING TO CANCEL ANY
HEARING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LAST 
MINUTE IS.
BUT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE IN THE
HOPES THAT SHE'LL TAKE US UP.
>> Reporter: IN A LETTER TO 
FORD'S LAWYERS TODAY,
GRASSLEY WRITES, "ANYONE WHO 
COMES FORWARD WITH ALLEGATIONS 
OF SEXUAL ASSAULT HAS A RIGHT TO
BE HEARD.
I HAVE ALSO OFFERED HER THE 
CHOICE OF TESTIFYING IN EITHER A
PUBLIC OR CLOSED SESSION OF THE 
HEARING."
GRASSLEY HAS ALSO OFFERED TO 
SEND SENATE AIDES TO CALIFORNIA,
WHERE FORD LIVES TO INTERVIEW 
HER THERE.
SOME REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING IF 
FORD DOES NOT SHOW UP ON MONDAY,
THE COMMITTEE SHOULD MOVE 
FORWARD WITH A VOTE ON 
KAVANAUGH'S NOMINATION.
>> SHE'S WELCOME TO COME.
WE'RE FOG TO HAVE A HEARING ON 
MONDAY.
SHE CAN COME IF SHE LIKES.
IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO, SHE 
DOESN'T HAVE TO.
KAVANAUGH CAN COME IF HE WOULD 
LIKE, AND I THINK HE WILL.
WE WILL VOTE ON WEDNESDAY.
>> Reporter: KAVANAUGH SPENT 
MONDAY AND TUESDAY AT THE WHITE 
HOUSE AS HIS LIFE FACES RENEWED 
SCRUTINY, EVEN THIS OLD JOKE 
ABOUT HIS HIGH SCHOOL.
>> WHAT HAPPENS AT GEORGETOWN 
PREP STAYS AT GEORGETOWN PREP.
THAT'S BEEN A GOOD THING FOR ALL
OF US, I THINK.
>> Reporter: AS FOR FORD, HER 
OLD HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS ARE 
RALLYING AROUND HER.
>> SHE WAS JUST VERY WELL-LIKED 
ACROSS THE BOARD.
VERY SMART, VERY HARD-WORKING.
CLEARLY THAT IS -- THOSE ARE 
QUALIFIES THAT SHE KEPT AS SHE 
WENT FORWARD IN HER ADULT LIFE.
>> Reporter: AND THE PRESIDENT 
DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WAVERING AT 
ALL IN SUPPORTING HIS NOMINEE.
>> I THINK IT'S A VERY UNFAIR 
THING, WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> DO YOU FEEL ANYTHING FOR 
CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD?
>> WELL, I'D HAVE TO SEE WHAT 
SHE HAS TO SAY.
I'VE GIVEN HER A LOT OF TIME.
THE SENATE HAS GIVEN HER A LOT 
OF TIME.
WE CONTINUE TO GIVE HER A LOT OF
TIME.
WE'VE HELD UP THE WHOLE HEARING.
>> JON KARL WITH US, A LOT OF 
FAST-MOVING PARTS ON THIS.
HE'S WITH US LIVE FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE.
AND JON, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S 
NEWS TONIGHT FROM THE REPUBLICAN
CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE, THAT JUDGE KAVANAUGH 
HAS ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN 
QUESTIONED ABOUT THESE 
ALLEGATIONS?
>> Reporter: CHAIRMAN CHUCK 
GRASSLEY REVEALED THAT KAVANAUGH
WAS INTERROGATED BY REPUBLICAN 
INVESTIGATORS ON THE JUDICIARY 
COMMITTEE FOR A TRANSCRIBED 
INTERVIEW ON MONDAY.
SENATOR GRASSLEY SAYS THAT 
KAVANAUGH ANSWERED ALL 
QUESTIONS, QUOTE, FULLY, 
CANDIDLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY, AND 
DAVID, UNDERSTAND THAT IF HE DID
NOT TELL THE TRUTH, HE COULD BE 
CHARGED WITH A FELONY.
DAVID?
>> JON KARL TONIGHT, THANK YOU. 
>>> AS YOU HEARD JON REPORT 
THERE, SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM, 
FOR ONE, SAYING THE SENATE 
SHOULD VOTE EVEN WITHOUT HEARING
FROM DR. BLASEY FORD ON MONDAY.
MANY SENATORS WHO WILL HAVE TO 
DECIDE ON KAVANAUGH ARE UP FOR 
RE-ELECTION.
ABC'S MARY BRUCE BACK ON THE 
HILL TONIGHT, ARE THOSE SENATORS
LISTENING TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS 
ON BOTH SIDES BACK HOME?
>> Reporter: FROM THE MOMENT 
REPUBLICANS LIKE SENATOR 
SUSAN COLLINS ARRIVED BACK IN 
WASHINGTON, THEY HAVE BEEN UNDER
INCREASING PRESSURE.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE THE ACCUSER?
>> I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH TO MAKE A
JUDGEMENT AT THIS POINT.
>> Reporter: BUT NOW, THOSE SAME
REPUBLICANS ARE TURNING UP THE 
PRESSURE ON CHRISTINE BLASEY 
FORD.
>> THERE'S A WEEK, MORE THAN A 
WEEK, BETWEEN WHEN SHE MADE THE 
ALLEGATIONS AND THE DATE OF THE 
HEARING, WHICH WAS SLATED FOR 
NEXT MONDAY.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE 
HEARING SHOULDN'T GO FORTH.
>> Reporter: COLLINS NOTING FORD
HAS BEEN TOLD SHE COULD TESTIFY 
IN PRIVATE.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT SHE CAN 
REJECT ALL THOSE OPTIONS, 
BECAUSE OTHERWISE, THERE ARE 
THESE VERY SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS
HANGING OVER THE HEAD OF A 
NOMINEE WHO HAS EMPHATICALLY 
DENIED THEM.
AND THAT'S JUST NOT A GOOD WAY 
FOR US TO END.
>> Reporter: SENATOR JEFF FLAKE,
ANOTHER KEY REPUBLICAN, 
TWEETING, "I NOW IMPLORE DR. 
FORD TO ACCEPT THE INVITATION 
FOR MONDAY.
THE COMMITTEE SHOULD HEAR HER 
VOICE."
TONIGHT, THE MESSAGE FROM GOP 
LEADERS TO FORD, "SHOW UP OR 
WE'RE HEADING FOR A VOTE."
>> SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO 
APPEAR.
BUT IF SHE CHANGES HER MIND AND 
REFUSES TO APPEAR, THERE'S NOT 
MUCH WE CAN DO.
>> Reporter: BUT DEMOCRATS SAY 
REPUBLICANS ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH
TO ACCOMMODATE FORD.
>> THE LATEST BEING A LETTER 
FROM THE CHAIRMAN TO THE 
DEMOCRATS, SAYING WE HAVE DONE 
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO CONTACT 
HER.
THAT IS SUCH [ BLEEP ], I CAN'T 
HARDLY STAND IT.
>> ALL RIGHT, MARY BRUCE WITH US
LIVE TONIGHT, ON THE HILL.
AND MARY, DEMOCRATS WANT TO CALL
OTHER WITNESSES ON MONDAY, IN 
ADDITION TO CHRISTINE BLASEY 
FORD AND BRETT KAVANAUGH, 
INCLUDING ANOTHER STUDENT WHO 
THE ACCUSER SAYS WAS IN THE 
ROOM.
>> Reporter: YEAH, DAVID, THEY 
WANT TO CALL WITNESSES LIKE MARK
JUDGE.
FORD SAYS HE WAS THERE IN THE 
ROOM WHEN THIS ALLEGED ASSAULT 
TOOK PLACE.
BUT JUDGE SAYS HE HAS NO MEMORY 
OF THIS, SAYING, "I NEVER SAW 
BRETT ACT IN THE MANNER DR. FORD
DESCRIBES."
AND DAVID, JUDGE HAS MADE CLEAR,
HE HAS NO INTEREST IN TESTIFYING
UNDER OATH.
>> ALL RIGHT, MARY BRUCE UP ON 
THE HILL TONIGHT.
MARY, THANK YOU, AGAIN.
