sources say investigators have talked to patrick smith, leland keyser and mark judge. where christine blasey ford says she was present where kavanaugh assaulted her. what's not clear is if the fbi is looking into this new haven police report back in 1985 detailing this bar fight. it shows officers did in fact question a young brett kavanaugh but did not arrest him. it also shows that kavanaugh did not want to admit or deny that he tossed ice at one of the men involved in the fight, a fight that began according to a classmate who was there over whether someone looked like the lead singer of ub-40. in the end, kavanaugh's friend, former nba chris dudley, was arrested and that classmate is not one of several people from kavanaugh's college days who said kavanaugh lied about the level of his drinking when he testified last week. >> yes, i believe that he lied and distorted and dissembled to the senate judiciary committee. he never acknowledged that he got to the point that he might not actually remember something, and i find that very hard to believe, frankly. i find that

one of those people she said was present was leland keyser, a female friend, one of her closest friends who said not only does she not remember being involved in anything like this, she said she never even met brett kavanaugh. this is not about believing women or believing men. that's a false choice. it's not about having to choose between a man and a woman when it comes to allegations of sexual assault. it's not about being for the me too movement or against it, because who, after all, could be against it, women coming forward and telling their story when they believe they have been assaulted. no, what this is about is looking at the specific relev >> and had been told the fbiv with the course of those background investigations including the supplemental background investigation don't you think something somewhere, sometime would corroborate what doctor ford said if there was such a person? and we know these claims conflict with the accounts of many women who say they know this nomineeeh to be honorably in high school and college but countless other women who have known in the interact

at issue, the journal says, is a statement to the judiciary committee by leland kaiser that she didn't know brett cavanagh and described it as any alleged assault. former republican congressman jason chaffetz and author of the deep state joins us live, good to have you with us. i want to make sure we read from an attorney, any notional claim that pressured leland kaiser to alter her account of what she recalled concerning the incident between doctor ford and brett kavanaugh is false but the wall street journal does report kaiser told the fbi she was under pressure to clarify or change in some way her initial statement. what do you make of that? >> it does require congress to look further. chairman grassley has a lot of latitude. a letter from the committee, he can to depositions, he can do a hearing. there are a lot of tools. he can issue a subpoena. he can compel testimony. he can get that information. i think he should do this. there's a reason miss ford was asked a particular question in the hearing and it was the senators and staff that laid the foundation to understand the manipul

first of all, leland kaiser, patrick, pj smyth. ford said that both of them were at the party and issued statements saying they had no recollection, but unknown what they told the fbi. there is chris garrett and tim gaud et. they were referred to a calendar interview. a gathering at tim's house, brett kavanaugh referred to him as timmy. chris garrett was also there. his nickname was squi. they pointed to this date as a possible party that christine blasey ford was remembering. she hasn't been able to pinpoint the date. finally, deborah ramirez was the second accuser who claimed that brett kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a dorm room party at yale in the early 1980s. kavanaugh denied all of the claims and we do know three other people were also interviewed, but we don't know their identities. >> who didn't the fbi talk to? >> two big names not interviewed. christine blasey ford herself and brett kavanaugh. democrats including today, dianne feinstein said an investigation without their input was incomplete. the white house cou

an old friend by the name of leland kaiser. but here is her attorney in a statement to the judiciary committee saying, quote, the truth is that she is unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question. leland kaiser was named by ford as a corroborating witness. when she was interviewed by the fbi on saturday. again, a witness at the event after the fact whose now saying doesn't remember it. >> that's why you're hearing all this stuff about -- is why you hear all this stuff about process and nothing about the allegations made. i was a prosecutor for 20 years. if people bring you allegations that on their face don't seem to match up with the facts you are ready now, why would anybody be surprised if the fbi goes out and beat the bushes and they can't find any corroboration. there is never any reason. this stuff was never a quantum of evidence that you would credit in the first place. so not surprisingly they collide and can't find anything to corroborate it and the democrats are talking about th

ford's close friend, leland kaiser said she doesn't even remember ever meeting brett kavanaugh. similarly, patrick smith and mark judge, two other alleged witnesses said the event never happened. this is not just a case where there is an allegation and no corroboration. this is a case of an allegation and negative cooperation. dimension dr. ford's lawyers earlier that want to return to that in just a moment. some of their actions suggested they were interested in using dr. ford for partisan purposes thanpe ensuring her story was properly considered alongsidema with other information during the standard committee process. we all remember when dr. ford's hearing was delayed, the committee was informed by her lawyers that dr. ford's, prevented her from flying because she experienced claustrophobia. but during her testimony, watched by as many as 20 million people in this country, dr. ford says she flights recruitment for hobbies and work. so one has to wonder, why was this delay orchestrated? was it a stunt concocted by her lawyers to buy more time? you have to wonder. the truth is

ford's close friend, leland keyeser says she doesn't remember ever meeting brett kavanaugh. and similarly mark judge and another said the event never happened. so this is not just a case where there's an allegation and though corroboration. this is a case of an allegation and negative corroboration. i mentioned dr. ford's attorneys earlier and i want to return in that in a moment. and some of their actions were they were interested in using dr. ford as partisan, and used the information along with the standard committee process. we all remember when dr. ford's hearing was delayed, the committee was informed by her lawyers that dr. ford's trauma prevented her from flying because she experienced claustrophobia. but then during her testimony, watched by as many as 20 million people in this country, dr. ford says she flies frequently for hobbies and work. so one has to wonder, why was this delay orchestrated? was it a stunt concocted by her lawyers to buy more time? you have to wonder. but the truth is, her lawyers were involved long before that point. when the ranking member of
