Exclusive: California professor, writer of confidential Brett Kavanaugh letter, speaks out about her allegation of sexual assault wapo.st/2xfR5BS
Speaking publicly for the first time, Christine Blasey Ford says one summer in the 1980s, Kavanaugh and a friend — both “stumbling drunk,” she alleges — corralled her into a bedroom during a gathering of teenagers at a house in Montgomery County, Maryland wapo.st/2OpRRmE
Ford said Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her over her clothes and attempted to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it.

When she tried to scream, she said, he put his hand over her mouth wapo.st/2Ot4ZHq
“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” Ford said of Kavanaugh. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.” wapo.st/2Ot4ZHq
Ford said she was able to escape when Kavanaugh’s friend jumped on top of them, sending all three tumbling. She said she ran from the room, briefly locked herself in a bathroom and then fled the house. wapo.st/2Ot4ZHq
The White House Sunday sent The Post a statement Kavanaugh issued last week, when the outlines of Ford’s account first became public: “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time.” wapo.st/2Ot4ZHq
