White House spokesman Raj Shah told the Post that Kavanaugh incurred his debt because he buys Washington Nationals season tickets and tickets for playoff games for himself and a “handful” of friends, as well as for home improvements.

Last year, Kavanaugh's credit card debts and loan appeared to be paid off or fell below the year's reporting requirements, according to the Post. Shah told the paper that the judge's friends reimbursed him for their share of the tickets and that Kavanaugh no longer buys season tickets.
