Attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford sent a letter to FBI officials on Tuesday, asking for agents to interview her as part of their investigation into allegations of sexual assault made against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Politico obtained a copy of the letter, sent by Debra Katz and Michael Bromwich. "It is inconceivable that the FBI could conduct a thorough investigation of Dr. Ford's allegations without interviewing her, Judge Kavanaugh, or the witnesses we have identified in our letters to you," they wrote. The attorneys also asked to set up a phone call with officials to discuss the inquiry, and said while they gave the FBI "a series of emails and letters in which we identified witnesses and evidence that would likely assist the FBI in its investigation," they have not received a response.
