Brett Kavanaugh, Christine Blasey Ford hearings: How to watch on TV and online

CBS News and CBSN is planning gavel-to-gavel coverage Thursday of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accuses him of sexual assault decades ago. President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee is facing sexual assault accusations from at least three women who have gone on record: Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick.

The day’s events will start at 10 a.m. ET. Ford will take the hot seat first, after opening remarks from the committee chairman, Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, the panel’s top Democrat. The proceedings are expected to last into the afternoon. After the 21-member committee finishes asking their questions of Ford — however long that will be, including breaks — then Kavanaugh will go next.
