Hirono on Ford: ‘It Was Very Hard to Watch Her Not to Conclude that She Was Telling the Truth’

EXCERPT:

BLITZER: "You’re a former prosecutor in Hawaii. As you know, there is no statute of limitations for sexual assault in the state of Maryland. In addition to the FBI probe, would you encourage Professor Ford to ask investigators in her home state of Maryland to pursue this as a criminal matter?"

HIRONO: "I think that’s something that Dr. Ford has to decide. Her life has been totally up ended as it is. She gave a very credible, believable testimony. She shared her truth with us. And I think it was very hard to watch her not to conclude that she was telling the truth. And I think all the people who were watching probably came to the same conclusion."
