Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyers alleged that the people directing the FBI’s investigation into her claim of sexual assault against Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh “were not interested in seeking truth.”

The investigation, meant to supplement the FBI’s previous background check and look into the claims by Ford and another woman, “cannot be called an investigation,” the attorneys said, because agents did not interview Ford or people they say can corroborate her testimony.

They issued the statement late Wednesday night after news broke that the FBI had completed the investigation and Senate Republicans had moved toward voting Friday on advancing Kavanaugh’s nomination.

“An FBI supplemental background investigation that did not include an interview of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford – nor the witnesses who corroborate her testimony – cannot be called an investigation,” her lawyers’ statement read. “We are profoundly disappointed that after the tremendous sacrifice she made in coming forward, those directing the FBI investigation were not interested in seeking truth.”

The FBI did not talk to Ford during their investigation into the allegations she made against Kavanaugh, according to her lawyers. (RELATED: Report: FBI Has Not Yet Contacted Ford, Her Lawyers Claim)

One of Ford’s lawyer’s, Debra Katz, attended a resistance rally back in 2017. Katz was interviewed during the rally and she said, “We are going to resist. We will not be silenced.” (RELATED: Kavanaugh Accuser’s Lawyer Caught On Camera: ‘We Are Going To Resist’)

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake called for an inquiry that was “limited in scope” and time, and President Donald Trump said the FBI should interview whomever it deems necessary, “within reason.”

Following the conclusion of the investigation, Senate Republicans filed for cloture on Wednesday night. By doing so, it will allow for the Senate to hold a procedural vote on Friday, which wound end the debate on Kavanaugh. (RELATED: Senate Republicans Take Another Step Toward Final Vote On Kavanaugh)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
