SNELL: She talks about how she discussed it with her therapist and that it came up when - her discussion with her husband when they were remodeling their home. And she addresses that, in effect, in her opening statement by saying there have been occasions over the years when I did address this. INSKEEP: So some parts of her testimony so far address some serious questions about this - one of them being what record, what corroboration could there be of this allegation that you're making 36 years later. NPR's Kelsey Snell has been watching the testimony with us.

She is discussing her allegation that Kavanaugh, decades ago, sexually assaulted her at a party when both were in high school.

CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD: (Reading) I am here today not because I want to be.
