The woman, Christine Ford, is a professor at Palo Alto University, according to The Washington Post, which published her account on Sunday. According to Ford, Kavanaugh put his hand over her mouth when she attempted to scream. "As the story notes, we are standing with Judge Kavanaugh’s denial," White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah told Fox News. "From the outset, I have believed these allegations were extremely serious and bear heavily on Judge Kavanaugh’s character," Feinstein wrote. Kennedy said Kavanaugh's vote before the Senate Judiciary Committee would continue as planned on Thursday.
