Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell, hired by the Senate Judiciary Committee to handle some of Thursday's questioning, opened with some words of encouragement for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. Mitchell made the remark after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, deferred his allotted five minutes of questioning to the prosecutor. Kavanaugh has adamantly denied the allegation, saying he has “never done anything like what the accuser describes – to her or anyone.”Both he and Ford are appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a hearing regarding the allegations. WHO IS RACHEL MITCHELL, THE PROSECUTOR HIRED TO QUESTION KAVANAUGH’S ACCUSER DURING SENATE HEARING? She was also in charge of a satellite bureau that prosecuted such crimes as well as domestic violence and elder abuse, according to the Judiciary Committee.
