President Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexually assaulting Christine Blasey Ford in the summer of 1982. Kavanaugh would have been 15.

These accusations first garnered the public’s attention in early September after Ford tipped off Washington Post about the alleged assault and wrote an anonymous letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) detailing her attack in July. She originally wished to remain anonymous, unsure if she was ready to go public with the allegations.
