CNN publishes text of letter Kavanaugh accuser wrote to Feinstein

CNN on Sunday published the contents of the letter Christine Blasey Ford wrote to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) detailing the accusations of sexual misconduct she made against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

CNN reported that it was not provided a physical copy of the letter sent to Feinstein. A source who had the letter read the contents of a redacted version to the network.

The letter is dated July 30 and includes a “confidential” header.

Ford addresses Feinstein, her senator in California, to provide “information relevant in evaluating the current nominee to the Supreme Court.”{mosads}

In the letter, the 51-year-old professor at Palo Alto University in California describes an incident between her and Kavanaugh when the pair were in high school.

The account in the letter matches what she told The Washington Post in a report published on Sunday. 

She says Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed one summer in the 1980s and groped her over her clothes. 

“Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stair well from the living room,” she writes. “They locked the door and played loud music precluding any successful attempt to yell for help.”
