ford, anna eshoo and dianne feinstein who knew about this. so you have a fairly limited number of people who even knew about this. they didn't report it to the judiciary committee and kept it from the press. somebody knew of that circle, maybe 3 to 5 people knew by the. and they let the cat out of the bag. and that lit the gas on this. kennedy: they knew there was no way we would get to this point unless dr. ford was forced to testify. they couldn't do that unless the press went and harassed her in person. and that's what happened. so she feared her story was going to be made public, and that's when she came forward it's a very insensitive process. do you buy the deny from difi? >> i don't know if i buy the deny. somebody leaked it. senator feinstein and anna eshoo had amble people around who were the possible leaks. we have find out how it was. people skulking around dr. ford's office, reporters look and peeking in and trying to force her to come out in the open. that's exactly what she didn't want to have happen, based on her testimony, and

on the house side there's will hurd and probably anna eshoo. i'm missing some folks, too. but there are folks i have great confidence in. in some cases, for example, will about cybersecurity issues. >> how was that conversation? >> it was kind of fun because i, of course, freely admit as a nerd i'm lacking in social skills. so it's more entertaining to connect with someone who may share my issues. [ laughter ] was that indirect enough? >> that was pretty indirect. >> so one more washington question here. do you think that there should be a federal anti-trust investigation of google and facebook for online platform bias? i think more time is needed to investigate to consider why terms of service need -- how they can be better enforced. how the terms can be improved. to stop things like fraud and deception and disinformation. because the bad actors are smart. they have a lot of funding and no scruples. >> maybe we'll come back to this a little bit later in our conversation. >> okay. >> let's talk about philanthropy now. you are making your mark as a philanthropist. the givin

duty that originally motivated me to reached out confidentially to the washington post and to anna eshoo's office when there was still a list of extremely qualified candidates and to senator feinstein, was always there. but my fears of the consequence of speaking out started to exponentially increase. during august 2018, the press reported that mr. kavanaugh's confirmation was virtually certain. i believed that if i came forward, my single voice would be drowned out by a chorus of powerful supporters. >> i believed if i came forward, my voice would be drowned out by a chorus of powerful supporters. but despite that fear, she did, of course, come forward. even though she knew what would happen as a result. we know that she saw it coming. she knew that this, in fact, would be the result. >> they just about destroyed a good person to be on the supreme court. hopefully we're 48 hours away from having a new person on the supreme court. >> i believe that we should and we did treat dr. ford the same way i would want my daughters or my wife or my mother treated under similar circumstances. so now

. >> the fact is christine blasey ford contacted her congresswoman, anna eshoo, when kavanaugh's name appeared on the short list to replace justice anthony kennedy, before president trump nominated him. and, remember, this is the president who, day after day, call -- the day after that, calling professor ford credible, mocked her at length in front of a cheering crowd at a campaign rally. now, he would have -- you believe her whole story, everything she said brett kavanaugh did to her, all those excruciating details. he would have you believe all that was a hoax cooked up by democrats. looks like a hoax is the new witch hunt, right? so let's take a look at some of the things president trump has claimed were hoaxes, things that -- no surprise -- all turned out to be true. top of the list, the thing the president really loves to hate. the thing he has called both a witch hunt and a hoax, russia's election interference. >> now, we're being hindered by the russian hoax. it's a hoax, okay? >> and he tweeted about it too, calling russia's interference a big hoax. a hoax, huh? i want you to

she ended up turning to the place most would, to her local congress woman, anna eshoo sitting down with her in california and talking with her about this letter, this confidential letter that she wanted to put in the hands of somebody who would make a decision about the future of the supreme court. it was a perfectly reasonable explanation of what an ordinary citizen would do, and that's what she did. and when she finally got in contact with the senate judiciary committee with this same confidential letter and had communications with senator feinstein, she stressed over and over again that she wanted this to remain confidential and that she didn't want her identity to be disclosed for fear of what it would mean to her and her family. a natural human reaction. i want to say a word about senator feinstein. you may quibble, you may debate, you may argue with the way she handled this, but i think she did what she thought was right for the very right reasons. she believed that she had an obligation to dr. ford, an obligation to protect her identity. and i know senator feinstein. she is a per
