Christine Blasey Ford's legal teams says the FBI have not made contact with them in the Brett Kavanaugh probe that Donald Trump ordered Friday, even though they've been told to complete the task in one week.
A journalist from the New York Times spoke to a lawyer representing the woman who accused the Supreme Court Justice nominee of sexually assaulting her in the 1980s, and the federal investigators have allegedly not consulted her for help with their research into his background.
A tweet Sunday shared a statement from Debra Katz, which claimed Dr Ford's team has tried to initiate a conversation themselves but to no avail.

'NEW: FBI has not responded to requests from Christine Blasey Ford to do an interview,' Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote on Twitter Sunday morning.
She added the attorney said in the statement: 'We have not heard from the FBI, despite repeated efforts to speak with them.'
Trump denied the investigation may not be entirely fair in a tweet Saturday night.
The Brett Kavanaugh probe is supposed to be completed in the next five days
He referred to an NBC story that reported he could be cherry-picking the people they speak to possibly have a different outcome.
'NBC News incorrectly reported (as usual) that I was limiting the FBI investigation of Judge Kavanaugh, and witnesses, only to certain people,' he posted. 'Actually, I want them to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion. Please correct your reporting!'
The US President had previously ordered the supplemental investigation a day after Ford and Kavanaugh testified in front of the Judiciary Committee Thursday.
'I've ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh's file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week,' Trump said.

ABC News also reported a source had told them no one from the FBI had contacted Ford's team by Sunday.
Republican Senator Lindsey said the probe would include talking to Ford, as well as a second accuser Deborah Ramirez.
Ramirez alleges Kavanaugh exposed himself to her in college while his friend Mark Judge, also mentioned in the Ford allegations, was in the room at the time of the alleged assault.
Attorney John Clune confirmed on Saturday the Ramirez team had been contacted by FBI.

'We can confirm the FBI has reached out to interview Ms. Ramirez and she has agreed to cooperate with their investigation. Out of respect for the integrity of the process, we will have no further comment at this time,' Clune said.
Julie Swetnick, the third woman to make public allegations about Judge Kavanaugh, had not been contacted by FBI regarding the matter according to her lawyer Michael Avenatti.
There had been some confusion as to whether she would be a part of the investigation after a White House official told NBC News her accusations were not include. However Trump seemingly said it may be when sharing FBI had 'free rein'.
'They’re going to do whatever they have to do,' he said. 'Whatever it is they do, they’ll be doing—things that we never even thought of. And hopefully at the conclusion everything will be fine.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
