"We continue to find more evidence that Judge Kavanaugh misled me and the Judiciary Committee under oath. I'm posting important documents that Senate Republicans didn't want the American people to see. We deserve transparency about this nominee."
"In 2006, I asked Judge Kavanaugh about his role in the 4th Circuit nomination of Jim Haynes -- a key figure in crafting the Bush White House detention & interrogation policies. Under oath, he said, "I've--I know Jim Haynes, but it was not one of the nominations that I handled.""
"However, these emails from 2002 and 2003 show that then-Associate White House Counsel Brett Kavanaugh played a substantial role in the decision to nominate Haynes, including examining whether Haynes "would be an across-the-board judicial conservative"."
"It is clear now that not only did Judge Kavanaugh mislead me when it came to his involvement in the Bush Administration's detention and interrogation policies, but also regarding his role in the controversial Haynes nomination."
"This is a theme that we see emerge with Judge Kavanaugh time and time again -- he says one thing under oath, and then the documents tell a different story. It is no wonder the White House and Senate Republicans are rushing through this nomination and hiding his record."
