Christine Blasey Ford said civic duty compelled her to come forward when she learned Brett Kavanaugh was President Trump's top choice for a Supreme Court opening in the summer of 2018. But her testimony did not change the ultimate result of Kavanaugh's nomination.
Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her at a party back when they were teenagers in the Washington, D.C., area. When it was Kavanaugh's turn to testify, he denied it happened.
