White House officials are scrambling to answer more than 1,200 Democratic inquiries about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and when they respond Wednesday, one mystery may be solved: the names of friends for whom he bought baseball tickets.
Although it wasn't addressed during 20 hours of public questioning by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., peppered Kavanaugh with inquires about the procurement of baseball tickets in written questions submitted Monday.
The White House has until 6 p.m. Wednesday to respond to senators' questions, many of which are repetitive inquiries into his judicial views, but some of which are surprising, such as Whitehouse asking if Kavanaugh "ever sought treatment for a gambling addiction."
Kavanaugh’s financial disclosures indicate that in 2016, his debts may have exceeded the value of bank accounts and reportable investments. White House spokesman Raj Shah in July attributed this to the judge buying baseball tickets before being repaid by friends, and no contradictory evidence emerged.
