Democratic senators in the U.S. Congress found themselves in new territory as they resorted to Freedom of Information Act requests to obtain records of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh who was associate White House counsel for President George W Bush. (FindLaw, August 9, 2018, by George Khory, Esq.)
The nonprofit Fix the Court filed a lawsuit in federal court in July seeking records of Kavanaugh’s work on the Starr commission in the 1990s and his service in the Bush administration. The lawsuit asks the National Archives and the Justice Department to expedite the request for documents so that the public and Congress can make fully informed decisions about Kavanaugh’s nomination.
