The Trump administration is “open” to the Senate Judiciary Committee holding a hearing with Deborah Ramirez, the woman who accused Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in college, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.

Sanders, speaking on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, didn’t specify whether the White House would support a public or private hearing involving Ramirez, who was quoted in the New Yorker magazine as saying that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a drunken party at Yale University when they were students.
