>> jessica snyder, thank you very much. appreciate that. so brett kavanaugh has been going over possible questions and answers over his teenage years and dating life. let's go to boris sanchez in new york where president trump will head later this hour to attend security council meetings this week. back in d.c., however, the testimonies are set for thursday. so what is the white house's response now that we're learning a little bit more about the sequence of events, et cetera? >> reporter: hey there, freddie. our president trump has remained relatively silent on twitter about these ongoing negotiations between christine blasey ford and the senate judiciary committee for her testimony. they haven't said much before they announced she would be testifying on thursday. just two days ago the president openly questioned about why it took ford so long to come guard with h -- forward with her accusations about brett kavanaugh, the man the president chose to replace a supreme court retirement. the senate indicated that the senate majority leader cal

more now from cnn's jessica snyder. >> reporter: the date is set for christine blasey ford's testimony. it will be on thursday at 10:00 a.m., and it will be an open hearing. now, blasey ford will testify first in front of the committee after which judge brett kavanagh will testify. blasey ford will also have security since she's been receiving death threats, since her identity became public, and there is still uncertainty as to who will be doing the questioning. it's possible republicans could bring in an outside attorney who is a female, but blasey ford's attorneys say they want the senators doing the questioning since they have been dismissive of her allegations. now, meanwhile the chairman chuck grassley issued a statement sunday saying that the committee itself had been investigating, and of the four other people blasey ford says were at the party including judge kavanagh, according to the committee, all have denied any knowledge or recollection of blasey ford's version of events. and, of course, judge kavanagh has also issued several forceful denials. and meanwhile, the white hous

j jessica snyder joins me. what do we know about the woman?al from brett kavanaugh over a decades old assault allegation. she knew him in high school in the 1980s. her allegations are coming to light now because she recently wrote a letter to her congresswoman in california. that letter was passed on to the top democrat on the senate judiciary committee, dianne feinstein. here's what's detailed in the letter according to a source familiar with the letter. it was in the early 1980s, the woman attended a party in maryland with brett kavanaugh and other high schoolers. she says kavanaugh pushed her into a bedroom and along with another male, kavanaugh locked the door, played loud music which the accuser says precluded her from being heard when she yelled for help. she says both men were drunk and says kavanaugh allegedly tried to take off her clothes and allegedly had his hand over her mouth. at one point because of this, the accuser said she feared for her life but was finally able to leave the room and eventually left the party. there's no indi
