“Last week, I announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court starting on September 4.” –Chairman @ChuckGrassley#SCOTUS#KavanaughSCOTUS
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: We have already received more documents from Judge Kavanaugh’s executive branch service than any nominee in history, with many more to come. #SCOTUS#KavanaughSCOTUS
“I just described to you the largest document production in the history of Supreme Court nominations. But guess what @SenSchumer described it as: ‘unprecedented secrecy.’” –Chairman @ChuckGrassley
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: This argument is ridiculous on its face. And the American people aren’t buying it.
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: Indeed, the Senate Democrats demanded the search of every page of every email and every other record from every one of the hundreds of White House staffers who came and went during every one of the eight years of the Bush Administration.
“This precedent supports my decision not to ask for documents from Judge Kavanaugh’s time as White House Staff Secretary.” Chairman @ChuckGrassley
“Judge Kavanaugh is dedicated to judicial independence. He’s not afraid to tell another branch of government when it has exceeded its lawful authority” –Chairman @ChuckGrassley
Chairman @ChuckGrassley: I look forward to hearing from Judge Kavanaugh when he appears before the Judiciary Committee on September 4.
