Lawyers for Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford have submitted evidentiary documents they intend to use at Thursday's hearing—pages from Kavanaugh's 1982 summer calendar, and four declarations supporting Ford's claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party—including one from a Scotts Valley lawyer.

The Senate Judiciary Committee recently asked lawyers for Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, for any evidence they intend to rely on at Thursday's hearing exploring claims the U.S. Supreme Court nominee sexually assaulted Ford at a high school party in suburban Washington in the 1980s.
Ford has alleged Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, tried to remove her clothing and covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming. Kavanaugh has vehemently denied the claims. Ford's lawyers at Washington's Katz Marshall & Banks submitted to the judiciary committee four declarations from her husband and three friends who corroborate her sexual assault claims.
Among the exhibits is a declaration from One friend, a Scotts Valley lawyer named Keith Koegler, said Ford told him about the alleged sexual assault in 2016 around the time of the sentencing of former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner.
Lawyers for Kavanaugh, represented by the firm Wilkinson Walsh + Eskovitz, submitted pages from a 1982 calendar to back up his insistence that he did not attend a party as Ford described in her allegation. The New York Times earlier reviewed the calendars, which are dated May, June, July and August 1982. The pages show myriad social outings, beach travel, sporting events and movies. The calendar pages, as the Times noted, do not disprove Ford's claims.
Blasey Ford's four declarations are posted below:
