Circuit Court of Appeals nominee Neomi Rao further clarified Monday her past remarks on date rape in a letter to the ranking members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Rao, who serves as Trump’s regulatory czar, was grilled last week by the committee about controversial writings that surfaced after her nomination, namely a 1994 opinion piece for The Yale Herald in which she appeared to argue that women are partially to blame for sexual assault.

She wrote at the time that if a woman “drinks to the point where she can no longer choose, well, getting to that point was a part of her choice.”

Rao went into much more detail in her letter Monday than during the hearing last week.
