Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced Tuesday night that he has hired Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell to question Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman accusing him of sexual assault during this week’s hearing.
“The majority members have followed the bipartisan recommendation to hire as staff counsel for the committee an experienced career sex-crimes prosecutor to question the witnesses at Thursday’s hearing,” Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. “The goal is to de-politicize the process and get to the truth, instead of grandstanding and giving senators an opportunity to launch their presidential campaigns.”
Grassley added that he’s appreciative Mitchell stepped forward to serve in this “important and serious role.”
