>> insights revealed in san francisco from the sister-in-law of christine blasey ford on the sexual assault allegations against supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh that have drawn national attention. i'm ama daetz. >> i'm larry beil in for dan ashley. lawyers for christine blasey ford have less than an hour to respond to the senate judiciary committee. the two sides have been negotiating over having her testify and under what conditions. her lawyers proposed thursday. the committee wands the hearing on wednesday and blasey ford to go first. if you believe mitch mcconnell, none of this matters. >> you watched the fight and the tactics but here is what i want to tell you. in the near future judge kavanaugh will be on the united states supreme court. >> president trump broke his silence on the accusations against brett kavanaugh, taking to twitter, questioning kristine blasey ford's claim and credibility. he tweeted, quote, if the attack on dr. ford was as bad as she says charges would have been immediately filed. this generates an online

backlash with the #whyididn'treport as sexual assault survivors share stories why they didn't go to police. maine senator susan colins says she was apolled. >> somebody else who was appalled is the sister-in-law who lives in marin county. >> she gave her first local tv interview to abc 7. she talked with abc 7 anchor kristen sze and says she stands by her sister-in-law. >> yeah, larry and ama, that is true. she came here and we talked about half an hour, sandra ford mendler saying she is talking about it now because she wants her to know the true reason she came forward. she just wants the facts weighed. she talks about the intense attention chrissy is receiving and she respond to the president's attack. >> the first i learned was when i got a call from a family member who said, oh, my goodness, chrissy's trending in the news. what is going on?

>> do you believe her? absolutely 100%? >> i 100% believe her. the reason i do is because, you know, she's a serious person. she is a very analytical person, and she adores her family and she's -- she's a little bit of a nervous person. i mean she would never, ever take this on for any reason. so i think that she -- this is taking tremendous courage and i believe her completely. >> what motivated christine to approach congresswoman eshoo this summer? >> as i understand it, it was a really hard decision and she decided to confidentially provide the information to her congresswoman because she felt it was her civic obligation, that as a member of this society that there was a background check going on and she knows about information and analysis and she felt that it was really important to share that

information. she never intended for her name to come out and she wanted it to be part of the investigation. >> is it your sense that she wanted it to be known so that he would not be confirmed? >> i think it was not a politically-motivated thing. it was a tumultuous thing in her life, and she -- you know, she felt like this was a time when that was important to share that. >> just this morning president trump tweeted that if her accusations were true, charges surely would have been filed immediately a long time ago. what do you say to that? >> from what i understand is it is very, very common for people that have experienced sexual abuse to feel traumatized and not come forward. i mean i think it is -- from what i have read and from what i understand, it is the most common response. so i was disappointed in the president's comment, and i think the way he could have handled

this differently is he could have said, thank you for sharing this information, we'll look into it. it would have been that simple. >> what do you think ultimately is christine's wish and hopes for what comes out of this? >> i think she would wish and hope that women that experience sexual violence and improper behavior will feel strong enough to confront those situations, and that as a society we'll listen better and be more compassionate in our responses. >> like it or not, unfortunately due to all that has happened, she is suddenly thrust to the forefront of the me too movement. how do you think she is carrying that burden and that responsibility? >> i think it is really hard and i think she's finding some inner strength, maybe that she didn't even know that she had, and we want to provide support for her.

and i know it means a lot to her when people in the larger community also offer support for her, and so just encourage people that might be listening to know that it really makes a difference for her to feel that support. >> sandra says she has been texting regularly with her sister-in-law but that she's not asking her for details about her conversations with the fbi or negotiations with the senate judiciary committee. she will only say that the threats are very real and very scary and that insuring blasey forward's safety is paramount. >> yes, because this affects the whole family, kristen. did you have a chance at all to talk to her about blasey ford's political leanings? >> as you know, it has been reported that blasey ford had made some small donations to democratic party members and candidates, however, i asked the sister has she been active in party politics, the sister-in-law. she says not really, no. the extent of what she has done

politically is maybe going to the women's marches a few times in the past few years, but no real active party actions she has been involved with. >> what kind of an impact did sandra say this is having on the whole family? because suddenly all of them are thrust into this whole national conversation. >> and, you know, it has been very difficult because almost all of them are very private people, and christine in particular, she says, is the one who hides in the back of family photos. so for her to be in this strange spot, she saw what happened to anita hill. that's giving her some fright, some hesitation, but she says her sister-in-law is someone who wants to do the right thing, and she believes getting the facts out there for it to be considered before any long-term decisions are made, that's very important to all of them. >> all right. kristen, thank you so much for all of that. >> great work. well, christine blasey ford apparently met with the fbi in san francisco today because of death threats she has received since going public this weekend. this is according to "the new

york times." "abc 7 news" was at the federal building on turk street today. we reached out to ford's attorneys regarding her reported meeting from the fbi. we have not heard back. >> as we mentioned in a tweet today, president trump questioned the credibility of christine blasey ford asking if the attack on dr. ford was as bad as she says charges would have immediately been filed with local law enforcement authorities. that in turn helped spark the #whyididn'treport. we are told it is true most don't. >> reporter: 63% of sexual assaults are not reported to police. this according to the latest 2015 study from the national sexual violence resource center. cheryl davis of the san francisco human rights commission knows why many assaults go unreported. >> what will they think about me? and they're still questioning whether it was my fault or whether i did something to make it happen. >> reporter: according to stats from the criminal justice system, female victims don't report for the following reasons. they fear retaliation. police would, could not help.

it was a personal matter. another agency handled it. it wasn't important enough. did not want to get the person in trouble. but take a look at this number. 30% gave another reason. now, let's think for a moment without naming names. what would a 15-year-old who was drunk do? i decided to approach women who were teenagers in the '80s. >> i had this kind of situation and, no, you can't tell anybody because you're just too afraid of the consequences at that time. >> i would want my kids to report it, you know, if something happened to them, but back in that time, in that age and that time, it was totally different than it is now. >> reporter: but still in the minds of some is the question of why repor b a beal. however, why didn't she come forward a long time ago? >> reporter: many are hoping blasey ford's potential testimony will shed some light on the issue.

or so many attacks and rapes would actually be living in your neighborhood. >> reporter: neighbors say they normally saw waller puttering around his lawn or trimming his trees, nice enough to help a woman nearby learn to use her weed whacker but not really outgoing. >> it is troubling to know that there is someone who lives in your community who may have done such heinous crime. >> reporter: very nearby au police say they don't know if waller committed sexual assaults here but they plan to find out. >> we are investigating our past cases and see -- to see if there is any connection that we could make with those cases with mr. waller. >> reporter: meantime, some of the women who live here wish they had known about this sooner. >> i don't know. i don't think if i had known that, i don't know if i would feel intimidated or not by it. i would be a little more cautious about it. >> reporter: but some of the women and some of the men who live here who are married or have girlfriends who live here
