An
Arizona sex-crimes prosecutor who questioned Christine Blasey Ford about her sexual assault allegation against then-Supreme Court nominee
Brett Kavanaugh has been promoted to a top prosecutorial job in metro Phoenix.
Rachel Mitchell was named chief deputy of the Maricopa County Attorney's Office last week, taking on the top staff position with
Republican County Attorney Bill Montgomery.
Mitchell was chief of the county's sex crimes division when the 11 Republican men on the
Senate Judiciary Committee enlisted her to question Ford, hoping to avoid the potentially bad optics of men interrogating a woman about her allegation.
