Throughout Monday, TV interviewers pressed Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer, the authors of the piece, on the Sunday night story's disclosure that the accuser, Deborah Ramirez, acknowledged holes in her memory of a dorm party she said occurred in Kavanaugh's freshman year at Yale.
The pair also faced questions over their lack of corroborating eye-witnesses to support Ramirez's recollection that Kavanaugh "thrust his penis in her face and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away," though the story cited a classmate of Ramirez's who said he heard about the incident shortly after it occurred and several others who attested to her character.
On ABC's Good Morning America on Monday morning, Farrow said, "We wouldn't have run this if we didn't have a careful basis of people who had heard at the time and found her credible."
Host George Stephanopoulos replied: "But by your own admission, no eye witnesses of the incident."
