NASHVILLE — Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen said that the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault “has a very credible story.” But he said the Judiciary Committee should consider proceeding with a vote if she does not testify under oath. “She has put herself out there,” Bredesen said Wednesday of Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of assaulting her while they were both in high school. Bredesen has avoided saying whether he would vote to confirm Kavanaugh for the high court if he were in the Senate. The Judiciary Committee has invited both Ford and Kavanaugh to testify on Monday, though Ford’s attendance is uncertain. Kavanaugh and Ford were both students at elite private schools near Washington.
