Financial disclosures reveal debts on Nationals tickets

WASHINGTON — U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh listed just two assets worth a maximum of $65,000 on his 2017 personal financial disclosure, plus a debt of as much as $15,000.

His form may not include other significant assets he may own. Judges aren’t required to disclose federal retirement plans or their personal residences.

A Washington Post review of Kavanaugh’s financial disclosures revealed that Kavanaugh incurred tens of thousands of dollars of credit card debt buying baseball tickets over the past decade.

White House spokesman Raj Shah told The Post that Kavanaugh built up the debt by buying Washington Nationals season tickets and tickets for playoff games for himself and a “handful” of friends. Shah said some of the debts were also for home improvements.

Shah told The Post that Kavanaugh’s friends reimbursed him for their share of the baseball tickets and that the judge has since stopped purchasing the season tickets.
