A Grassley spokesman later reiterated the hearing will go on as scheduled. Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexual and physical assault during their high school years at a party in the early 1980s. Kavanaugh has denied all allegations against him, including those of Ford and Swetnick. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who sits on the Judiciary committee with Cornyn and Grassley, said he does not believe Kavanaugh is a serial rapist. If he will not, at the very least, the hearing and vote should be postponed while the FBI investigates all of these allegations.
