Sen. Kamala Harris wrote an op-ed in which she demanded the House Judiciary Committee open an impeachment hearing against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the one-year anniversary of Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against him.

"We need to get to the truth about Kavanaugh. And I believe the best path to truth and accountability is through a formal impeachment process," the California Democrat said in a Friday article in Elle. "That’s why I called on the House Judiciary Committee to open an impeachment inquiry and take a serious look at whether Kavanaugh lied under oath during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee."

Harris, 54, had sent a letter last week to Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, asking him to "investigate recent reports" of alleged misconduct by Kavanaugh.

The presidential candidate acknowledged the impeachment of Kavanaugh would likely "go nowhere" in the Senate, but she argued that it would help to restore "faith in our justice system" and provide "meaningful accountability and transparency."

Kavanaugh, 54, came under attack from Democrats this month after two New York Times reporters, Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, released an excerpt from their new book on Kavanaugh in which they mentioned a new allegation of sexual misconduct.

The authors received a torrent of criticism after the original piece failed to disclose that the alleged victim did not "recall the incident" and the witness, who had refused to talk to the paper, had faced off against Kavanaugh when he was a member of former President Bill Clinton's legal team while Kavanaugh was on Ken Starr's legal team.
