h-o-t-w-i-r-e hotwire.com >>> a moment ago you heard from the attorney for debra ramirez.enate judiciary committee conference call tonight in hopes of speaking with republicans on the panel. however, he said only the democratic members were on the call. we received an e-mail chain sent to us by the gop folks on the judiciary committee who essentially say they have been asking for any information that ms. ramirez has on whether she'd be willing to talk to senate investigators from mr. clune. he's unwilling to give that information until they talk and find out more details about what specifically the gop side wants. joining us is cnn political analyst kirsten powers, also amanda carpenter author of the new book "gaslighting america: why we love it when trump lies to us." kirsten, i'm wondering what you make of this kind of back and forth from the attorneys, from ms. ramirez and also the gop folks on the judiciary committee, the investigators. >> well, what it sounds like is that they don't trust the republicans to investigate this. and i think that's a pretty good judgment t

there are reports republicans are concerned about the debra ramirez accusation, as a freshman at yale exposing himself to a woman in a very aggressive and forceful and terrible way, according to her. susan collins is quoted tonight as saying i believe that the committee investigators should reach out to debra ramirez in order to question her under oath about what she is alleging happened. lisa, if susan collins insists on that, we are probably not having a hearing this week. >> well, it's not clear what's going to happen between president trump's claims and debra ramirez assertions on the floor. i think she should be interviewed along with the ram mate who says she believes debra ramirez's statements that happened with her and the accusations are fully consistent with the brett kavanaugh he knew at yale. so really the process should be this should go back to the fbi it's gone in every judicial nomination that's come to this committee probably going back to the senatoreselen in the 1960s. where there are matters of this importance there's process of referring this back to the fbi to fu

a college classmate of brett kavanaugh named debra ramirez claims that during a party where students were drinking, kavanaugh put his genitals in her face, forcing her to touch them. she tried to push him away. quote, i was embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated. she remembers kavanaugh standing to her right and laughing, pulling up his pants. brett was laughing, she said. i can still see his face and his hips coming forward like when you pull up your pants. she recalled another male student shouting about the incident. someone yelled down the hall, brett kavanaugh just put his penis in debbie's face. it was his full name, i don't think it was just brett. and i remember hearing that and being mortified this was out there. another classmate of debra ramirez is telling the new yorker that while he, the classmate, was not present for the party, he said, quote, he is 100% sure that he was told at the time that brett kavanaugh was the student who exposed himself to debra ramirez at that party. other classmates evidently told other details including the specific room on the specific floor

is serving as a pool reporter to all of the network reporters today asked if the second accuser debra ramirez should testify, and president trump said, she has nothing a. and this is a stunning statement for him to make, particularly ahead of all of the facts being known, and particularly given that his own press secretary earlier in the day said she would be open to having her testify on capitol hill. and so not only mixed message ing coming from the administration, but you are seeing the president really ramp up and dig in, and we started to see this last week when he took direct aim and dr. ford he indicated that she was not tell ing the truth which is continuing into the week, and putting it into the broader frame wok that it is all political and i expect it to continue, and by the way, andrea, it is not just the president, because there is a similar tone from the advisers including kellyanne conway and she said it is important to hear from dr. ford and now she is saying that it is increasingly beginning to feel like a right wing conspiracy. >> and so, the accuser is going to be questione

avenatti clarifieclarified, my i not debra ramirez. >>> the woman who accused judge brett kavanaugh ofexual assaulting her when they were in high school has reached a deal to publicly give her side of the story to lawmakers a lawyer for christine blasey ford says her client has agreed to appear before the committee on thursday. that decision comes after her legal team and the committee were able to reach an agreement on the terms of ford's appearance democratic and republican sources familiar with the agreement tell nbc news that ford's lawyers and committee staff agreed to the following. the hearing will be open to the public ford will testify first, followed by judge kavanaugh. democratic senators will ask questions at the hearing and mark judge, who ford claimed interrupted the assault, will not be subpoenaed to testify some aspects of the hearing remain unresolved at this hour one of the major sticking points was who on the republican side would get to question ford committee members wanted to keep the option of using an outside female lawyer or staff member on the table. republica

blasey ford and debra ramirez but to the entire survivor community. >> the flip side of that, of course, from the republican standpoint is if judge kavanaugh, if people are lying about him doesn't he deserve to have a vote one way or the other? >> he deserves to have a vote. if it is concluded he's telling the truth, if his veracity is established after this hearing. but even before the hearing, if he really wanted to clear his name he would demand that the white house order an fbi investigation of these serious credible allegations. if he really wanted his name cleared, he would demand that senator grassley schedule other witnesses like mark judge, who was in the room when this credible allegation of assault occurred. and he would also do other kinds of steps that would get at the facts and evidence. but in fact, the pattern here is one of concealing and hiding. even before these allegations came forth, they concealed and hid millions of pages of documents that bore on his credibility. and that's one of the central issues. his veracity. his truth telling or lack of it that will be at i

we're not quite sure whether it's debra ramirez or julie swetnick. article in the hill they're talking to those who might corroborate or not allegations of dr. ford, one of her friends, kaiser, that as a friend that she could corroborate this incident that happened back in high school. we're told at least that in that interview ms. ford had said that she believed her friend would be able to verify the account that she recollected, but kaiser apparently, in a letter to the judiciary panel had said that she's not refuting ford's testimony, but has no recollection of the night in question. whether that moves the needle one way or the other, you have a lot of supportive friends of the accuser who believe she believes and firmly believes that something happened, but they cannot corroborate her account or whether the judge was involved at the time. so that's cutting to the chase here, that there's really been no advancement in this. and let's get the read from lee carter and we have madison. and we begin with you. if we keep getting more and more like that
