WASHINGTON — Details must be worked out on a tentative agreement for a Thursday hearing for Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegation that the Supreme Court nominee sexually assaulted her decades ago. Some details of the hearing, such as the order of their testimony, remained in negotiation and talks were expected to continue Sunday. Kavanaugh, an appellate court judge, denied the allegation and said he wanted to testify as soon as possible to clear his name. Earlier Saturday amid the latest deadline standoff Vice-President Mike Pence called Kavanaugh “a man of integrity with impeccable credentials.” He said he expected Kavanaugh to join the high court soon. But in an email late Saturday, Keyser attorney Howard Walsh told the committee she “does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection” of ever attending a gathering with Kavanaugh.
