Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he’s going to call for an investigation to determine whether anyone on the staff of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) was involved in outing Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. However, she ultimately came forward this month in an article published by The Washington Post and testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday in an extraordinary hearing. Graham, however, said without citing evidence that he believed “somebody in her office” was the culprit. “All I can tell you is it came from somebody with a political motive. … No friend would do this to Dr. Ford,” Graham said, lamenting the “despicable” confirmation process for Kavanaugh.
