The hearing caught the attention of Americans over sexual harassment charges brought against Cavanaugh by Stanford University professor Christine Blazy Ford. Cavanaugh denied all allegations, and was eventually approved for the post.

In June 2017, about 19,5 million Americans turned on their televisions to watch Senate Intelligence Committee hearings at which James Coney, a former director of the Federal Intelligence Service, testified.
