Members of the White House team working on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court worried CBS editors would selectively edit an interview conducted with Kavanaugh during his confirmation process to make him look bad, according to a new book out Tuesday.

Authors Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino write in their book Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court that the leading candidates to interview Kavanaugh after he faced allegations of sexual assault were Jan Crawford of CBS and Martha MacCallum of Fox News. The White House, they said, “wanted someone who could conduct a serious interview but who would be fair and let Kavanaugh speak—neither a series of softball questions nor a game of ‘gotcha.’”
