Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford release polygraph results
The attorneys for Judge Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford have released results from a polygraph test she took last month — which she apparently passed.
The exam was administered by a former FBI agent on Aug. 7 at a Hilton Hotel in Maryland, according to Ford’s lawyers.
It included two questions and an interview pertaining to the alleged assault.
“Is any part of your statement false?” read the first question, to which Ford answered “no.”
“Did you make up any part of your statement?” the second said, prompting another “no.”
According to her attorneys, Ford gave answers “not indicative of deception” and wound up passing the test with “unremarkable” scores. The results have been sent to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and will likely be brought up on Thursday during the Kavanaugh hearing.
The statement with the polygraph results contained one inconsistency with the written statement she originally sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D- Calif.) and in her interview with the Washington Post, according to the Daily Caller.
In the polygraph statement she said there were “4 boys and a couple of girls at the party.” But in the letter to the senator she only mentioned “four others” and in the interview with the paper she only mentioned “four boys at the party.”
Ford’s polygraph came just one week after she hurled her sexual assault allegations at Kavanaugh in a letter to Feinstein. The Supreme Court nominee allegedly pinned her down on a bed and groped her while they were both in high school. Kavanaugh has denied any wrongdoing.
