Brett Kavanaugh’s unusually lengthy paper trail and the president’s power to keep some documents confidential could become a flashpoint in Senate Democratic efforts to thoroughly vet the Supreme Court nominee.

Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas and administered by the National Archives.
