Any investigation would need to start with her interview by the FBI. If she were to knowingly provide this interviewing agents with false information she is in violation of 18 USC 1001.

The FBI doesn’t have any jurisdiction here as rape, sexual assault are state crimes in Maryland. This would be investigated by the Montgomery County Police Department if the allegation contained enough details to warrant a case being opened.

IMO Ms Ford’s attorneys are making these demands to slow the vote till after the midterm elections while making the GOP force the vote without giving her a full investigation. This tactic reinforces the “war on women” theme the Democrats have been so consistently harping on. The only thing missing from this allegation is the Rev Al Sharpton and the Duke lacrosse team.
