Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is asking for Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, to turn over notes from her therapy sessions and recordings of the lie detector test she took.
Grassley made the request in a letter sent to Ford’s attorneys on Tuesday night, according to The Wall Street Journal. The letter also asks for exchanges she’s had with the media and says that he is making the request because her sexual assault claim has “put Judge Kavanaugh on trial before the nation.”

The Journal noted that Grassley also questioned the truthfulness of Ford’s testimony in the letter.
Ford told senators she only discussed the lie-detector test with her lawyers. She also said she did not talk about any tips on how to pass a polygraph.
Grassley said in the letter that the committee had received a sworn statement from an unidentified ex-boyfriend of Ford’s that raised “specific concerns about the reliability of her polygraph examination results.”
“The Senate therefore needs this information,” he said in the letter.
The former boyfriend reportedly told the committee that he dated Ford from 1992 to 1998 and that he witnessed Ford, a psychologist, once help a friend prepare to take a lie-detector test.

Curiously, the accused is required to provide unlimited proof of everything he says and has done the past 30 odd years yet the accuser thinks she has to provide nothing except her word. Is that how it is supposed to work?
