Committee receives supplemental questionnaire material
WASHINGTON – The Senate
Judiciary Committee today released more than 85,000 pages of material from
Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s service as a White House lawyer, bringing the total
volume of Judge Kavanaugh’s public Executive Branch records to more than
287,000 pages. The previous high water mark for such material was roughly

Judge Kavanaugh’s committee questionnaire, which is also publicly available.
The

committee by President Bush on a committee confidential basis while they were
prepared for public release. Today’s release is the sixth subset of that
material to become public and includes records from each of President Bush’s
previous productions to the committee. It includes:
