Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley said if there is no agreement tonight on testimony by Christine Blasey Ford, the committee would vote on the Brett Kavanaugh nomination on Monday. 
 
 The deadline has been extended to 10pm. 
 
 The statement: 
 
 “Despite the fact that the July 30th letter remains hidden, my committee has been investigating the allegations and has heard from multiple witnesses since Sunday. Ms. Katz has discussed Dr. Ford’s allegations in numerous media interviews and said on TV Monday morning that Dr. Ford wants to share her account with the Senate Judiciary Committee. It’s Friday night and nothing’s been agreed to despite our extensive efforts to make testimony possible,” Grassley said. “I’m extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o’clock this evening. I’m providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford’s attorneys don’t respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify. In the event that we can come to a reasonable resolution as I’ve been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony. We cannot continue to delay.”

– Brett Kavanaugh doubled down Monday on his denial of a sexual misconduct allegation going back to his high school days. "This is a completely false allegation," Kavanaugh said in a statement cited by CNN. "I have never done anything like what the accuser describes—to her or to anyone." The Supreme Court nominee also offered to talk to the Senate Judiciary panel "in any way the Committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity." Kavanaugh released the statement after his accuser, 51-year-old Christine Blasey Ford, came forward to say that a teenage Kavanaugh forced her onto a bed at a party, covered her mouth, and groped her before a classmate of his disrupted the alleged assault. What happens next is unclear. The Senate panel's chairman, Charles Grassley, said he planned to talk to both Kavanaugh and Ford by phone before asking anyone to appear before the panel, but Democrats want the FBI to take control and handle any investigation from here, reports the Washington Post. In the meantime, they want the confirmation process postponed. Meanwhile, the White House is sticking by Kavanaugh, though Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Fox Monday morning that Ford "should be heard," adding that "this woman should not be ignored and should not be insulted." Conway also called Kavanaugh "a man of character and integrity."
