Leland Keyser, a friend of Christine Blasey Ford told FBI investigators that she felt pressured by Dr. Ford's allies to change her initial statement that she knew nothing about an alleged sexual assault by a teenage Brett Kavanaugh,
Now, the Wall Street Journal reports sources say Keyser told the FBI that Monica McLean, a former FBI agent and a longtime friend of Ford's, pressured her to "clarify" her statement after Republicans seized on it as a pivotal gap in Ford's story.
After several days of back-and-forth between Republicans and Democrats, Keyser, through her lawyers, amended her initial statement to say, "Ms. Keyser does not refute Dr. Ford's account, and she has already told the press that she believes Dr. Ford's account. However, the simple and unchangeable truth is that she is unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question."
The WSJ also claims the FBI report on their investigation, which was sent to the White House and Senate Thursday but hasn't been released to the public, also contained texts between McLean and Keyser.
