The requests, some of which appeared to be negotiable, capped a whirlwind day of back-and-forth statements on Thursday. Ford’s lawyers told the Senate Judiciary Committee that she was open to testifying next week, but that it was “not possible” for Ford to testify at a hearing scheduled for Monday by Senate Republicans. They reiterated that she had a “strong preference” for an FBI probe beforehand. GRAPHIC LANGUAGE: Kavanaugh, wife and Ford all receiving death threats Dem Sen.

I’ll tell you … PRESIDENT TRUMP WEIGHS IN: President Trump on Thursday night told FOX News he thinks Brett Kavanaugh is “an outstanding person” who deserves a vote on his Supreme Court nomination, adding: “I don’t think you can delay it any longer” … The president’s remarks came during an interview with Sean Hannity ahead of a “Make America Great Again” rally in Las Vegas, where Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., is up for re-election. Trump added that Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, should be given an opportunity to “have her say and let’s see how it all works out.” But Trump noted that “they’ve delayed it a week.

Last month, Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance law violations in arranging hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal “at the direction” of then-candidate Trump. Both Daniels and McDougal say they had extramarital affairs with Trump, a claim the president denies. Trump has said he would consider a Mueller probe of his business dealings a red line, telling the New York Times last year: “I think that’s a violation.” The Wall Street Journal’s report comes amid new optimism over the prospect of a potential Mueller interview with Trump. President Trump’s legal counsel is “pleased with the progress being made” in talks with Mueller about a possible interview, a source familiar with the process told FOX News on Thursday. Any interview of Trump is unlikely to take place before the November midterm elections, the source said. HOSTILE TRUMP DOSSIER WITNESSES: Nellie Ohr, who worked as a contractor for the firm behind the anti-Trump dossier and whose Justice Department husband became a backchannel for passing along that information, has refused multiple requests to appear voluntarily before House committees, Fox News has learned … Former FBI general counsel James Baker also has refused similar requests. With lawmakers unable to secure a commitment to appear from Nellie Ohr or Baker, a Republican House Judiciary Committee aide indicated subpoenas are an option to “compel” their testimony.
