Minutes after it was reported that Democratic leadership in the Senate was lifting its "boycott" on its members meeting with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) announced she had scheduled a meeting with the nominee.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, had been urging colleagues to hold off on scheduling meetings with Kavanaugh while they negotiated with Republicans on which documents would be released. The Washington Post reported on Friday at 1:57 p.m. that the boycott on meetings was being lifted.
Just 10 minutes later at 2:07 p.m., McCaskill's office announced to reporters that the senator had scheduled a meeting with Kavanaugh for Aug. 21.
