Senate Republicans on Friday extended a counteroffer to Christine Blasey Ford to testify on Capitol Hill next Wednesday, amid negotiations over whether Ford will elaborate on her allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in public.
It was not immediately clear whether Ford would accept the offer. Fox News was told that the Republican senators want an answer “by the end of the day.”
“We need to hear from her,” said one senior source familiar with the process. “Monday is the preferred date. But we are open to other things.”
A senior Republican source told Fox News “we can’t postpone forever.”
Ford has accused Kavanaugh of attempting to rape her while both were in high school. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley had invited Ford to testify on Monday and gave Ford until 10 a.m. Friday to respond. That deadline passed Friday without a deal after Ford’s attorneys made clear this week Ford didn’t want to testify Monday but suggested she would another day.
Ford attorney Debra Katz told the Judiciary Committee on Thursday that Ford is willing to appear for a hearing on Capitol Hill as long as senators provide "terms that are fair and which ensure her safety."
Among the terms requested by Ford’s legal team: Only members of the committee -- no lawyers -- can question her; Kavanaugh cannot be in the room at the time; and Kavanaugh should be questioned first, before he has the opportunity to hear Ford's testimony.

“Senate Republicans on Friday extended a counteroffer to Christine Blasey Ford to testify on Capitol Hill next Wednesday...”
WTF! Tell Feinstein to show up with the lying sh*thead at 0800 Monday morning. If she doesn’t show up, Feinstein will be investigated for espionage and treason at 0801 for her conspiracy with her ChiComm driver. And at 0802, everything her pig husband owns will be confiscated as evidence.
Grassley needs Collins vote and she is being the sleazy marble mouthed fence sitting east coast liberal wimp
If we lose this SC seat it is right now on her!
She was quoted today as saying she has to look at herself after this
Hey Marble Mouth, look at Mrs. Kavanaugh and their two Daughters you air headed Twit!
Did she submit a list of questions they're only allowed to ask?
Hopefully this is their last offer and they then declare her accusations to be null and void....won’t stop a book deal for her time and effort to smear a good man....hopefully nobody will care enough to buy one.
