CNN's Anderson Cooper Presses Kavanaugh's Accuser About Trying To Delay Testimony

“Are you saying there has to be an investigation by the FBI or else Professor Ford will not testify?” CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Banks.

“What we’re saying is that there should be an investigation, because that’s the right thing to do,” Banks replied.

“If there’s not an investigation would she appear on Monday?” Cooper followed up.

“She is prepared to cooperate with the Committee and with any law enforcement investigation,” Banks said. “She will cooperate with the Committee in whatever form that takes and it remains to be seen. We have to talk with Senator Grassley’s office and the other committee members to determine what form that will take.”

Banks added that “any talk of a hearing on Monday is premature.”

“She just came forward with these allegations 48 hours ago,” Banks continued. “Since that time, she has been dealing with hate mail, harassment, death threats. She’s been spending her time trying to figure out how to put her life back together, how to protect herself and her family.”
