The release comes as Democrats and others have sought to unearth Kavanaugh’s records, as he has accrued a significant paper trail throughout his career.

In addition to working on Starr’s investigation into former President Bill Clinton, Starr also served in the White House as staff secretary and an associate counsel for President George W. Bush and wrote almost 300 opinions during his time as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The release of the documents comes after Archives general counsel Gary Stern wrote in a letter last week to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, that all the Kavanaugh documents the Senate has requested may not be provided until late October.

The National Archives previously released 1,025 pages from Kavanaugh’s work on Starr’s investigation on July 30.

Kavanaugh will need a simple majority to be confirmed. A total of 50 votes will be needed to confirm Kavanaugh in the event that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., remains in Arizona, where he is battling brain cancer.

Kavanaugh is the second Supreme Court justice President Trump has nominated since taking office. Neil Gorsuch was Trump’s first pick; he was confirmed to the seat vacated by the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
