Christine Ford, the sexual assault accuser, recently agreed to testify on Thursday about Brett Kavanaugh's actions. The testimony will be open to the public although Ford has received several threats, including death threats, after coming out with her story. Ford will be provided with extra security to make sure no one follows through with these threats. Ford, in order to ensure just and fair testimony, will be interviewed and questioned by both Democrats and Republicans.
Ford's testimony relates to the recent #MeToo movement involving actresses, athletes, celebrities, and politicians speaking publically about their sexual abuse and harrassment. Ford's account, however, could have significant political ramifications on how the Trump administration and the political parties, both Democrat and Republican, are viewed in the public eye.
