One of the major debates in the Kavanaugh hearings was about documents that had been deemed committee confidential. That meant these documents could only be viewed and discussed in closed door meetings of the Judiciary Committee. 200,000 pages of Kavanaugh’s documents from his time in the White House were withheld from the public. another 100,000 documents were withheld from the Committee altogether at the request of the current White House, on the grounds of executive privilege.
