===Lawyer conduct===
During testimony, the Committee learned Blasey Ford's attorneys had withheld from her the fact that Committee staff investigators were willing to travel to California to obtain sworn testimony and maintain confidential information.<ref>https://youtu.be/wPouKN05IDo</ref> By not informing their client, the attorneys forced a public hearing of her allegations against her wishes.
Her lawyers also claimed to have the results of a polygraph examination in the form of audio, video and charts attesting to the veracity of her allegations which they refused to share with the Committee. Chairman Grassley demanded material evidence relevant to allegations of sexual assault the attorneys claimed to have had against Judge Kavanaugh.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/389991842/Letter-to-Ford-attorneys#from_embed</ref><ref>http://dailycaller.com/2018/10/02/grassley-ford-boyfriend-polygraph/</ref>
