Ashley Kavanaugh, the wife of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, defended her husband Monday on "The Story" against accusations of sexual misconduct and reacted to the threats her family has faced as the situation intensified.

Martha MacCallum asked Ms. Kavanaugh about the death threats her family has received, as well as how the Kavanaughs' two daughters are handling the increased scrutiny.

"This process is incredibly difficult," she said.

She said the past several weeks have been "harder than we imagined and we imagined it might be hard."

"But, our faith is strong," she said.

Judge Kavanaugh again denied Christine Blasey Ford's accusation he sexually assaulted her at a party in Chevy Chase, Md. in 1982.

"I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone, in high school or otherwise. I am not questioning and have not questioned that perhaps Dr. Ford at some point in her life was sexually assaulted by someone at some place but what I know is I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone," he said.

He noted that as soon as the allegations broke -- after Ford's formerly anonymous letter was sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) -- he spoke under penalty of felony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"All I'm asking for is fairness and that I be heard in this process," he added. "I have faith in God and faith in the American people."
