50. Thread: The shaky, hoarse voice of Christine Blasey Ford is echoing around the White House, ...

The shaky, hoarse voice of Christine Blasey Ford is echoing around the White House, on speaker on numerous televisions. Reporters and staff are hushed, listening to her explain her accusations against Brett Kavanaugh.

Trump is traveling home from New York City, on board the presidential helicopter during her opening statements. He arrived at JFK airport and boarded Air Force One at the start of the question-and-answer portion of her testimony.

Q Not a case of mistaken identity?
FORD: “Absolutely not.”

Trump is watching the hearing and Christine Blasey Ford on delay aboard Air Force One, Sarah Huckabee Sanders says.

The president hasn't talked to Kavanaugh in the last couple of days, she says.
