Leland Ingham Keyser, Blasey Ford Witness
All of Ford's named witnesses of the party have now denied any recollection of attending such a party.
A witness, reportedly named by Christine Blasey Ford as one of the people at the high school party where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh allegedly sexually assaulted her, told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Saturday she was not there.

The attorney for Leland Ingham Keyser told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Keyser does not remember being at the party Ford described as the location of the alleged assault.

"Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford," Keyser said in the statement. CNN reported Keyser is a lifelong friend of Ford's.

Keyser, whom the New York Times reported is one of the people Ford named as being in attendance at the party, is the third witness who has denied knowing about the alleged assault. Mark Judge and Patrick Smyth said earlier this week they did not remember the party in question.

Kavanaugh has denied Ford's allegation.

The news comes after Ford, through her attorneys, tentatively agreed to testify on Thursday, after days of negotiations over the timing and conditions of her appearance before the panel.

Committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, had repeatedly extended deadlines set for Ford's team on the decision, including three on Friday and one at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Grassley threatened to proceed with a committee vote on Kavanaugh's nomination Monday if he did not hear from Ford.

"Five times now we [have] granted extension for Dr Ford to decide if she wants to proceed [with] her desire stated one [week] ago that she wants to tell senate her story," Grassley tweeted Friday. "Dr Ford if u changed ur mind say so so we can move on I want to hear ur testimony. Come to us or we to u."

The extended discussions have been labeled a delaying tactic by some Republicans.

Ford's attorneys and Grassley's aides will reportedly continue negotiations Sunday on the details of the conditions of Ford's testimony, per the New York Times.
