Amal Clooney criticizes President Trump for mocking Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against Brett Kavanaugh
Amal Clooney did not attend Princess Eugenie's wedding on Friday as she was one of the keynote speakers at the 2018 Pennsylvania Conference for Women on the same day. During her keynote speech in front of the Senate judicial committee, the 40-year-old human rights lawyer slammed President Trump for mocking Christine Blasey Ford‘s testimony against Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Ford alleged, just days before Kavanaugh's confirmation as Supreme Court Justice, that he sexually abused her when they were teenagers - a claim that the judge denied outright, People reports.
According to Philadelphia Magazine, Clooney said during the conference: “A president shouldn’t ridicule a woman who courageously comes forward to allege abuse." Trump sarcastically joked about Ford's testimony against Kavanaugh earlier this month at a rally in Mississippi amid clamors and cheers from a high spirited crowd.
