Why isn't Dr Ford responding to the invite to testify. Not responding to emails / phone calls from Judiciary Committee?

"I want to hear from Dr. Ford," Grassley said. "And she deserves to be heard because these are serious accusations. And I would surely hope she'd come Monday. I mean, after all, read all the details she put in the Washington Post. She's surely prepared. She hired a lawyer, I understand, back in August."

"We have reached out to her in the last 36 hours, three or four times by email, and we've not heard from them. So it kind of raises the question… Do they want to come to (the) public hearing or not?"
