Senate Democrats, after weeks of refusing to meet with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh until a dispute over his record is resolved, have decided to sit down with him when they return from break this month.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., will begin meeting with Kavanaugh when the Senate returns from a weeklong recess on Aug. 15.
They will “demand the missing documents from him directly and question him about their content,†said a senior Senate Democratic side.
They will also question him on healthcare, women’s freedom, presidential power, and other issues, the aide said.
“Senate Democrats intend to demand that he call for and support the release of all of his files from his time in the Bush White House,†said the Senate Democratic aide.
Democrats want Kavanaugh to ask the National Archives and former President George W. Bush to adhere to the same standard that was applied to Justice Elena Kagan’s confirmation.
