Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) abruptly canceled a planned fundraiser next month with the two attorneys representing Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford – after said plans became public.
Alex Pappas, at Fox News, reports:
The two attorneys, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, have been in the news advocating on Ford’s behalf and negotiating with Senate Republicans about whether Ford will testify on her allegations. The nominee has denied sexually assaulting Ford in high school.
“Please Join Debra Katz, Lisa Banks and End Citizens United for Cocktails and Conversation with U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) to support her re-election campaign,” read the invitation, which Fox News received from two separate sources.
But the Baldwin campaign told Fox News that Katz and Banks are no longer “involved in the event,” saying the fundraiser was scheduled before Ford made the allegations.
The fundraiser, according to the invite, was scheduled for the night of Oct. 1 in Dupont Circle, an area of Washington D.C.
Baldwin’s Republican challenger, Leah Vukmir, called the fundraiser “despicable” in a statement to Fox News.
