So far, the only documents we’ve seen from Judge Kavanaugh’s White House Counsel record are documents that were handpicked and cleared by Bill Burck. Burck is also hiding one hundred thousand documents citing “executive privilege."
Who is Mr. Burck? He’s a Republican attorney who represents both President Bush and White House Counsel Don McGahn. He actually used to work for Brett Kavanaugh as his Deputy Staff Secretary.
Mr. Burck is picking and choosing documents to share with the Judiciary Committee. He is not producing a privilege log – a record of what documents are being withheld – so we do not know what he is choosing to hide and why.
Under Mr. Burck’s process, the Senate and the American people are left in the dark. And of the documents he has given to the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Burck is trying to keep many of them hidden from the American people by claiming they should be kept “committee confidential.”
This partisan Republican process will keep millions of pages of records from critical periods of Judge Kavanaugh’s career hidden from the American public.
