Senate Democrats said Friday that they are expanding their lawsuit against the Trump administration as they try to force it to deliver documents related to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Democrats, led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), said Friday that they would also use the lawsuit to compel the Department of Justice to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on Kavanaugh documents.

A lawsuit Democrats filed on Monday only sued the CIA and the National Archives to hand over the decades-old paperwork.

“The Trump Administration and Senate Republicans’ refusal to do their job — blocking us from doing ours — has forced us to turn to the courts. Reviewing the full record of a nominee for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land isn’t optional — it’s obligatory,” Blumenthal said at the time.

The court battle comes after Democrats sent FOIA requests to multiple departments and agencies last month, including the National Archives and Department of Justice.

Blumenthal's office said that that Justice Department offered to hand over "an unspecified set of documents on an unspecified timeline" but only if Democrats rescinded their FOIA request.

Democrats are asking for paperwork from Kavanaugh's decades of work in Washington, including his time as a White House lawyer and staff secretary for President George W. Bush.

Republicans requested paperwork from his time as an associate counsel but refused to ask for documents from his three-year tenure as staff secretary.

Democrats argue that the time period is crucial for understanding Kavanaugh's thinking on controversial issues including torture and surveillance.

Republicans hoped to confirm Kavanaugh by the end of the month, but his nomination is currently stuck amid a sexual assault allegation.

Senate Judiciary Committee staff and lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh's accuser, are in negotiations over a potential hearing next week.

The hearing, if it occurs, would likely make or break whether Kavanaugh is confirmed as several Republican senators remain undecided. Republicans hold a 51-49 majority, meaning they can only lose one GOP senator before they need help from Democrats to confirm Kavanaugh.
