Kavanaugh investigation: FBI 'hasn't spoken to Christine Blasey Ford'

The FBI team examining sexual misconduct claims against US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have not yet interviewed his main accuser, her lawyers have said. Writing to the FBI, attorneys for Professor Christine Blasey Ford said it was "Inconceivable" that the agency could conduct a thorough investigation without interviewing her. In a letter written on Tuesday to FBI director Christopher Wray and FBI general counsel Dana Boente, Prof Ford's lawyers noted that it was five days since the fresh background check was launched. The letter went on: "This afternoon, we learned of media reports that the FBI does not intend to interview either Dr Ford or Judge Kavanaugh. We hope that this reporting is inaccurate." The FBI is known to have interviewed Mark Judge, a boyhood friend of Judge Kavanaugh's, whom Prof Ford said was in the room when she was assaulted.
