\nAs the FBI begins the supplemental background investigation of Brett Kavanaugh, Leland Keyser\u2014a friend and named witness of Kavanaugh\u2019s accuser Christine Ford\u2014reaffirmed that she \u201cdoes not know Judge Kavanaugh\u201d and \u201chas no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present.\u201d
Leland Keyser\u2014whose maiden name is Leland Ingham\u2014sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee through her attorney, Shannon Bream from Fox News Channel said in a tweet.
In the letter, Keyser said she\u2019s willing to cooperate \u201cfully with the FBI\u2019s supplemental investigation of Dr. Christine Ford\u2019s allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh.\u201d
She again clarified that she has no recollection of the incident Ford alleged.
Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 27, about her allegations that Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a Maryland house party in the summer of 1982.
Kavanaugh also testified before the committee on the same day after Ford.
In her prepared testimony, Ford named three other people\u2014beside her and Kavanaugh\u2014who she said were present at the party, including Mark Judge, Patrick James \u2018PJ\u2019 Smyth, and Keyser. Judge was a close high school friend of Kavanaugh, Smyth was Kavanaugh\u2019s classmate, while Keyser is Ford\u2019s long-time friend. All the three have denied any recollection of the incident.
The sex-crime prosecutor Rachel Mitchell, who was hired by the Republican senators to question Ford and Kavanaugh, spoke at a meeting after the Sept. 27 hearing. All 51 Republican senators attended the meeting.
Mitchell reportedly said Ford\u2019s allegation would not hold up in a courtroom. She would not charge Kavanaugh and wouldn\u2019t even seek a search warrant. \u201cMitchell spelled it out and was clear with senators that she could not take this anywhere near a courtroom,\u201d Fox News cited a source.
Mitchell heads the Special Victims Division of the Maricopa County Attorney\u2019s Office in Arizona.
On Sept. 28, President said the supplemental investigation of Kavanaugh started.
\u201cJust started, tonight, our 7th FBI investigation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh,\u201d Trump tweeted, \u201cHe will someday be recognized as a truly great Justice of The United States Supreme Court!\u201d
Senate Republicans agreed on Sept. 28, to delay the vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh for one week pending an FBI investigation into allegations brought forth by Ford.
The Senate Judiciary Committee called on the White House to order the FBI to reopen Kavanaugh\u2019s background investigation after voting to advance Kavanaugh\u2019s nomination.
The committee wants the investigation to be finished in no more than one week.
\u201cThe supplemental FBI background investigation would be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee and must be completed no later than one week from today,\u201d the committee said in a statement.
