Senators could demand millions of pages of records from Brett Kavanaugh’s time in the Bush White House – and grind the SCOTUS confirmation process to a crawl (1/5) politi.co/2u8EXRI
Kavanaugh isn’t the only Supreme Court nominee to have a White House history for senators to review. But the sheer quantity of Kavanaugh’s files could be unprecedented. (2/5) politi.co/2u8EXRI
It was already a huge undertaking for the National Archives to release 170,000 pages of records from Elena Kagan’s time in the Clinton White House. Kavanaugh’s records may produce more than five times that number. (3/5) politi.co/2u8EXRI
In addition to the Bush White House files, senators will probably also demand access to about 20,000 pages of documents Kavanaugh assembled for Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr (4/5) politi.co/2u8EXRI
The potentially massive number of records will likely slow the timeline for confirmation hearings – and it might make any hearing before the August recess impossible (5/5) politi.co/2u8EXRI
