Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s latest deadline for a response from Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford (and her attorney) was 2:30 p.m. today, and Ford, at least for now, says she will testify:
Breaking: it’s on. #JudgeKavanaugh accuser accepts invitation to appear. This from her lawyer: “Dr. Ford accepts the Committee’s request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct next week.”

However, as with many issues surrounding this story, there’s a “BUT…” factor. Ford and her attorney have asked for time to work out some details:

That still makes it sound like there’s a chance she won’t end up testifying.
