A new book on the explosive fight over Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh is rocking the publishing world with a surprise debut atop the Amazon best seller list.
Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court, not even available until Tuesday, was the top seller in several of Amazon’s list and was proclaimed “No. 1 Bestseller.”
It was No. 1 on new best sellers, and second on the overall bestseller list.
Authors Mollie Hemingway, a Federalist senior editor, and Judicial Crisis Network senior counsel Carrie Severino, were given special access for their deep dive look into the fight over Kavanaugh, who was almost torpedoed by false sex charges.
Excerpts of the Regnery Publishing book were given to Fox and the Washington Examiner.
The new issue of the Washington Examiner Magazine described the “near brawl” among senators over Kavanaugh’s confirmation fight.
And Secrets was provided details of how President Trump finally settled on the Washington insider and federal judge.
According to Hemmingway and Severino, Kavanaugh was on his way to a 5:30 p.m. mass when he got a call to meet with Trump later that night, when he decided to finally tap the judge for the Supreme Court. They wrote:
After Mass, Kavanaugh’s security detail switched cars in the Woodley Park neighborhood of Northwest D.C. to lose any potential tails, and he changed clothes as the car made its way to the White House. He met for more than an hour with the president and Melania Trump in the Yellow Oval Room, used for receptions for important guests, on the second floor of the White House residence. They discussed his background, his family, his views on the Court, and his impressions of Justice Kennedy.
At the end of the conversation, President Trump told Kavanaugh he had made his decision. He wanted to nominate him to the Supreme Court. The confirmation, he assured his nominee, would be the quickest and easiest ever because of the judge’s impeccable credentials and background. He told him to have fun.
The news, known only to a precious few, was overwhelming. No one suspected what had been set in motion.
