Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) this morning said that before the process of confirming Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh he will release “committee confidential” documents that have not been cleared for public release. Escalating to contentious debate between Republicans and Democrats, Booker said,”I am going to release the email about racial profiling, and I understand the penalty comes with potential ousting from the Senate.”
His announcement kicked off the third and final day of Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. Booker questioned Kavanaugh on Wednesday night about his stances on racial inequality, referencing emails from his time as a White House counsel for President George W. Bush. Republicans later pointed out that one of the emails he was referring to was labeled as “committee confidential.” Democrats argue that this is information that belongs to the American people.
