Please let us know when Ms. Ramirez is available for an interview with Senate Judiciary Committee investigators. According to the article, Senate Democrats have been investigating these allegations. The Chairman’s staff learned of these allegations only after they were made public in the ​New Yorker​article. Democratic staff should have made Republican staff aware of these allegations to fully probe them rather than drop an eleventh-hour allegation at the tail-end of the confirmation process. But we are determined to take Ms. Ramirez’s statement and investigate further as necessary as quickly as possible.

Our client has accurately relayed what she recalls to the New Yorker but, as she states in the article, she would welcome an investigation by the FBI into this information and would cooperate with such. On appropriate terms, she would also agree to be interviewed in person.

You refused. I’ve never encountered an instance where the Committee has refused even to speak with an individual or counsel. I am perplexed as to why this is happening here, except that it seems designed to ensure that the Majority can falsely claim that Ms. Ramirez and her lawyers refused to cooperate. That simply is not true. If you’re willing, I propose we schedule a time to talk – in a bipartisan fashion – with Ms. Ramirez’s counsel.

I am simply requesting – for the ​7t​h​ time​now ​ over the last 48 hours​– that Ms. Ramirez’s attorneys provide the Senate Judiciary Committee with any evidence​that they have before we move to the next steps. This is the same process that we have used for every other person who has brought allegations to the Senate Judiciary Committee related to this nomination, including most recently with attorney Michael Avenatti. And as we saw, Mr. Avenatti has failed to come forward with any evidence, after making his outlandish claims nearly 48 hours ago. Again: 1. Does Ms. Ramirez have any other evidence, including other statements, in addition to those that are contained in the New Yorker article? 2.
