A statement issued on Tuesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee suggests that Christine Blasey Ford's legal team may have violated the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct by apparently withholding key information from their client.
During the explosive hearing on Thursday, Ford made clear that she did not know that the Senate Judiciary Committee had repeatedly offered to come to her for her testimony and to hear that testimony privately if she preferred.
Judiciary Committee staff told Dr. Ford's lawyers that committee investigators were willing to come to her.
Sent a letter to Dr. Ford's attorney Debra Katz informing her that committee staff "Would still welcome the opportunity to speak with Dr. Ford at a time and place convenient to her."
During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford indicated that she had not been made aware of multiple offers made by Chairman Chuck Grassley to send staff to California to interview her, a format that she said she would have preferred.
On three occasions, Grassley and Judiciary Committee staff told Dr. Ford's lawyers that committee investigators were willing to come to her.
On September 19, Chairman Grassley sent a letter to Dr. Ford's attorney Debra Katz informing her that committee staff "Would still welcome the opportunity to speak with Dr. Ford at a time and place convenient to her."
