THE LEAD STORY - KAVANAUGH'S ACCUSER OUTLINES HER TERMS: Christine Blasey Ford's legal team has asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to agree to certain terms before she sits down for a potential interview over her accusation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her decades ago ... Among the terms: Only members of the committee -- no lawyers -- can question her; Kavanaugh cannot be in the room at the time; and Kavanaugh should be questioned first, before he has the opportunity to hear Ford's testimony.
The requests, some of which appeared to be negotiable, capped a whirlwind day of back-and-forth statements on Thursday. Ford's lawyers told the Senate Judiciary Committee that she was open to testifying next week, but that it was "not possible" for Ford to testify at a hearing scheduled for Monday by Senate Republicans. They reiterated that she had a "strong preference" for an FBI probe beforehand.
