Trump administration withholds 100,000 pages of Kavanaugh documents

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is withholding more than 100,000 pages of Brett Kavanaugh’s records from the Bush White House on the basis of presidential privilege ahead of the Supreme Court nominee’s confirmation hearing.

The Senate Judiciary Committee was notified of the action Friday. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called it “a Friday night document massacre.”

Schumer said the decision “has all the makings of a cover-up . ... What are they trying so desperately to hide?”
