wearing the neck chain with the crucifix hanging from it. It's easy to see - she's wearing a black top.
WHO IS SHE? She's not the wife. She's not one of the daughters. I just wonder who this fetching young woman is - who seems to be appearing with Kavanaugh on numerous occasions. Tall and slim - she was in that seat directly behind him a couple of days ago, fiddling with the crucifix pendant on her neck chain, and her long hair in that "come hither" style wherein it's all brushed over one shoulder, leaving the opposite shoulder and neck bare. She was also with Kavanaugh recently in a more formalized setting wearing quite an eye-catching red off-the-shoulder gown that was very fitted, showing off her trim figure. WHO'S the girl? Why is she there? As I just glanced up now (11:26am MT, so says the time clock at the lower right corner of the screen) was fiddling with her hair and touching her neck. Olive complexion and very pretty, with long smooth dark hair that always seems to be arranged in an alluring manner - in the several times I've seen her.
WHO is she? And why is she there? WHO is she to Brett Kavanaugh?
Anybody know?

Her surname is Bash and she is a WH aide working on the Kavanaugh confirmation. She is married to the trump-appointed current US Attorney for West Texas. Her parents are Mexican and Jewish.

If so, she's Zina Bash, a conservative legal insider & allegedly one of "100 most beautiful people in Washington DC."

(9,350 posts)I guess I do not understand beauty. She is not all that stunning to me. She is okay, but she is nothing to get excited about. I imagine there are more than 100 women in D.C. that are more beautiful than her.

(81,350 posts)After all, even the most outwardly upstanding and straight-laced of men has been known to cheat on his wife. I DID, however, love that red off-the-shoulder gown she wore to some event (again just a few steps away from Kavanaugh). Stunning!
On edit - one more wee thing: Im 65 years old. She looks like a girl to me.
I mainly wondered who this woman was - who always seemed to be near him. Appearance after appearance, video clip after video clip, there she is again - wtf? And I never saw her identified anywhere. My first instinct was girlfriend?
Thanks for the info, folks! DU comes through - again!

(9,350 posts)The last time something like this happened it turned out to be a Senate aide. It is possible they do these types of things so that people, especially men will be distracted by the pretty women and not pay attention to the hearing. I am not trying to insult you, but people tend to get distracted by these pretty young women and then the news cycle spends time identifying these women and giving their stories. The time used to give the stories of these women takes at least a small amount of time away from talking about what was discussed at the hearing. It is possible that in some cases the young women are talked about and what was said at the Congressional hearings are not discussed.
I think it was the Gorsuch Congressional hearings that people were preoccupied by a pretty young black women. She turned out to be a Republican Senator's aide. Likely this young woman will turn out to be someone's aide.

She's worked in the White House and various Senate offices.

(81,350 posts)Especially in cases like this. Fawn Hall comes to mind. Once they got a glimpse of her, that was it. Oliver North had a very attractive young secretary who drew all kinds of eyeballs AND press attention once she attended his testimony day during the Iran/Contra investigation. She had to testify, herself, about shredding a boatload of documents (so many that the machine broke down). Her notoriety took her all the way to Hollywood but never really paid off.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawn_Hall
But for awhile back then, she definitely was A Thing. I was in Washington DC immediately after that whole mess. People in Dupont Circle were selling t-shirts that featured a crayon drawing of a blonde female stick figure leaning toward a machine and the line See Fawn Shred. Shred Fawn, Shred. I couldnt resist - I bought one.
PR-wise it took some of the heat off Ollie North because she was the talk of the town. John Deans eye-catching wife caused a somewhat similar sensation during Watergate. A buzz started about the attractive blonde woman with her hair in a tight bun, seated immediately behind him in the hearing room while he testified. She was his wife, Maureen Dean. That was a bit of a diversion, too, as I recall.

DeminPennswoods
(15,286 posts)The heavy.com link above has lots of great info about her and hubby.
She worked immigration issues in the WH and is one of the staffers selected to "shepard" Kavanaugh through the Senate.
She's actually dual Mexican-American citizen having been born in Mexico (her mom is Mexican, Dad's American). Under the Trump immigration crack down, she should be eligible to be seperated from her children and deported back to Mexico along with her mother.
