Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) on Sunday railed against the lack of disclosure of documents related to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's past White House work, suggesting that some of the withheld information could change the course of his confirmation proceedings.
Klobuchar said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that she plans to stress during Tuesday's confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the circumstances of Kavanaugh's nomination are "not normal."
"You have a nominee with excellent credentials, with his family behind him, you have the cameras there, you have the senators questioning, but this isnt normal because we are not able to see 100,000 documents that the archivist has just - because the administration has said we cant see them," Klobuchar said.
She noted that there are close to 150,000 confidential documents she's been able to see but that are restricted from the public.
"I think you could ask some very interesting questions about these documents, that I'm unable to even say because I'm not able to make them public," Klobuchar said.
