An examination taken by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was released today, showing she passed a polygraph test over the sexual assault allegations she’s lodged against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The August 7 examination, held in a Maryland Hilton Hotel, consisted of a one-page, handwritten statement by Ford, an interview and two questions:
Is any part of your statement false? And, Did you make up any part of your statement?
She answered both:
No.
The Virginia-based examiner, Jeremiah Hanafin, noted both answers were deemed “not indicative of deception,” according to the report obtained by USA TODAY.
The report was sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee today ahead of Ford’s planned testimony tomorrow. In a letter to the committee’s leadership, Ford’s attorneys said they would not provide any of Ford’s medical records of the alleged assault.
Hanafin wrote in his report that two other analysis’ was conducted, both concluding Ford’s answers showed no signs she was lying. One concluded the probability of deception was less than .02.
Wolf’s signed handwritten note reiterated her claims of a sexual assault at a house party when she and Kavanaugh were teens.
“I was pushed into a bedroom and was locked in the room and rush onto a bed,” she wrote. “Brett laid on top of me and tried to remove my clothes while groping me. He held me down and put his hand on my mouth to stop me from screaming for help.”
Along with the polygraph examination, Ford and her attorneys sent over four signed declarations late Tuesday from people she told about the alleged sexual assault over the years in hopes to support her claims.
A second accuser, Deborah Ramirez, claims Kavanaugh exposed himself without her consent during a gathering at Yale University in the early 1980s.
A new accuser, Julie Swetnick, stepped forward with perhaps the most explosive charges yet, aided by Michael Avenatti, the firebrand lawyer who already represents a pornographic film actress going after the president.
The Senate Judiciary Committee also released handwritten calendar notations from Kavanaugh’s high school days that laid out the party-hopping lifestyle of a pampered prep schooler.
