President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he wants to hear Christine Blasey Ford testify about her allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when the two of them were in high school.
“I really want to see her. I really would want to see what she has to say,” Trump said outside the White House.
“We want to get it over with. At the same time, we want to give tremendous amounts of time,” he said. “If she shows up, that would be wonderful. If she doesn’t show up, that would be unfortunate.”
If Ford were to give “credible showing,” Trump said he’d reassess his nominee but said he had confidence in Kavanaugh’s reputation.
“Look, if she shows up, and makes a credible showing, that will be very interesting. We’ll have to make a decision,” Trump said. “But I can only say this, he is such an outstanding man, very hard for me to imagine that anything happened.”
