The Trump administration is keeping 100,000 pages of documents related to supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's time in the Bush White House under lock and key.

Trump's White House is claiming presidential privilege, according to an Associated Press report. George W. Bush’s attorney, Bill Burck, told the Senate Judiciary Committee it had finished its work reviewing and gathering the documents, according to the letter obtained by the AP.

A total of 267,000 pages from Kavanaugh's time at the Bush White House are being made public to senators as they ready for his confirmation hearing. But 27,110 documents, or 101,921 pages of Kavanaugh's record, are being withheld.

The Trump White House “has directed that we not provide these documents,” the letter to senators states.

"27,110 documents (101,921 pages) have not been provided because ... they have been identified as traditionally protected by constitutional privilege, and the White House, after consultation with the Department [of Justice], has directed that we not provide these documents for this reason," Bush's attorney wrote to senators, according to more details published by BuzzFeed News.
