White House spokesman Raj Shah said Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is willing to testify before the Senate about sexual assault allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford.
Ford's attorney Lisa Banks said her client "will agree to participate in any proceedings that she's asked to participate in."
The sexual assault allegation came to light after Palo Alto University professor Ford contacted Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) in what Eshoo called, "a tremendous act of courage."
The Washington Post is reporting that the confirmation vote scheduled for Thursday has been delayed, and that both Ford and Kavanaugh will testify publicly before the Senate on Monday.
