Senate Democrats plan to take their fight over obtaining Brett Kavanaugh’s documents directly to the nominee himself later this month.

In addition to questioning Kavanaugh on issues like health care and executive authority — two areas Democrats have seized on in the Supreme Court fight — they will ask Kavanaugh to support releasing his files from his work in the Bush administration, according to the aide.

"Senate Democrats intend to demand that he call for and support the release of all of his files from his time in the Bush White House," the aide said.

The new Democratic strategy comes as most members of the caucus have held off meeting with Kavanaugh as they press for a deal on getting access to documents from his time as staff secretary in the Bush White House.

“I have told my caucus that I’m waiting, and I think most of them are following me,” Schumer told The New York Times last month.

Feinstein's office added on Friday that that while she has said she will meet with Kavanaugh, they had "no details on timing" for when the meeting will take place.

White House spokesman Raj Shah issued a statement later on Friday saying the face-to-face meetings with Schumer and Feinstein have not been scheduled.

“While we look forward to potential meetings, both of these Democratic senators and many of their colleagues have publicly opposed Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination, while continuing to disingenuously demand millions of pages of documents from former President Bush that are irrelevant to evaluating the Judge’s judicial thinking," Shah said.

The decision to move forward with meetings, which was first reported by The Washington Post on Friday, comes as Democrats' demand for documents from Kavanaugh's time as staff secretary appears to have hit a wall.

Democrats requested that the National Archives release all of Kavanaugh's White House documents and emails, including those from his time as staff secretary and legal counsel. But the National Archives rebuffed that request in a Friday letter to Schumer, saying it will comply with requests made under the Presidential Records Act only if they come from a committee chairman, all of whom are Republican.

Republicans have refused to request documents from Kavanaugh's time as staff secretary, arguing Democrats are trying to go on a fishing expedition.
