WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Senate will hold public hearing next Monday on the sexual assault accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, U.S. President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, local media reported.

Earlier on Monday, both Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford, a research psychologist at Palo Alto University in California, said they are willing to testify before Congress about the allegations.

"Judge Kavanaugh looks forward to a hearing where he can clear his name of this false allegation. He stands ready to testify tomorrow if the Senate is ready to hear him," White House spokesman Raj Shah said in a statement Monday.

Ford accused the judge of sexually assaulting her at a party in the 1980s when they were teenagers in high school. She came forward publicly over the weekend.

"We hope that this hearing is fair and not another weaponized attack on a woman who has come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against a powerful man," Debra Katz, Ford's lawyer, told The New York Times on Monday.
