Senator Feinstein suggested that Dr Ford’s friends must have leaked it the letter.
But Dr. Ford testified that she did not authorize the release of her letter or provide it to anyone outside of Congresswoman Eshoo, Sen Feinstein, and her attorneys.

Articles in Buzzfeed, the New York Times, and the New Yorker (published before Dr Ford told her story of her own accord to the Washington Post) made clear that Dr. Ford’s name, contact information, and existence of accusations had been leaked to the media from Democrat offices.
Bottom line: Sen Feinstein was entrusted with sensitive material and asked to protect privacy.
Whether it was Senator Feinstein or someone she shared the information with, Dr Ford’s privacy was discarded by politicians committed to stopping Kavanaugh.
