Friday night’s extension was the fifth one given to Christine Ford.

The hearing is set for Wednesday in which we will hear testimony from Christine Ford and Brett Kavanaugh.

Ford’s lawyers have not committed to a time or a format yet–it appears this may be another delay tactic since they were facing a deadline.

FOX News reporter Chad Pergram with more details:

Update: From colleague Matt Leach. WH official to Fox says latest from Ford counsel “is an ask to continue ‘negotiations’ without committing to anything. It’s a clever way to push off the vote Monday without committing to appear Wednesday.”
