Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a trove of documents on Thursday from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s tenure as associate White House counsel to former President George W. Bush.

The document dump, which contained nearly 6,000 pages, came a day after ranking Democrats on the Judiciary Committee filed a series of Freedom of Information Act requests to access records from Kavanaugh’s time in the Bush White House. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has repeatedly accused Republicans of providing insufficient material involving the Supreme Court nominee ahead of his confirmation hearing this fall.
