Six of Rep. Paul Gosar's siblings have appeared in online ads asking Arizona voters to back David Brill, their brother's Democratic opponent in November.

The stunning public endorsement underscores the family's rancorous relationship with the conservative firebrand who has represented Arizona's 4th Congressional District since 2011.

The prep schools that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford attended in the 1980s are nestled in leafy suburbs such as this one minutes from the White House and Capitol, where affluence is matched by expectations for the children who grow up here.

Bold-faced names who attended the 117-year-old all-girls Holton-Arms School include Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Christine Lagarde, who oversees the International Monetary Fund.

In an op-ed for The Washington Post, former first daughter Patti Davis has disclosed that she was sexually assaulted roughly 40 years ago and kept quiet just like Christine Blasey Ford.

Davis, the daughter of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, describes how when she met with a prominent music executive hoping to establish her career as a songwriter, he raped her in his office. Noting how she remembers he walked across a "dark-green carpet" and that "his breath smelled like coffee and stale bread" but not which month of the year the attack happened, she relates to the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempted rape.

Republicans said Friday that they are rejecting several requests from a woman accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, including that they subpoena a potential witness and make the Supreme Court nominee testify first.

Staff for Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in a letter to lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s accuser, that they are willing to meet her “halfway” and detailing what request from her lawyers they are open to accommodating and those they are not.

“Some of your other demands ... are unreasonable and we are unable to accommodate them,” Grassley’s staff wrote in the letter released Friday evening.
