Now to the political Storm Brewing on capitol hill. Senate confirmation hearings for the president S Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, get under way tomorrow morning. He has been preparing for days, and so have the senators who will question him. These boxes are full of documents supporting his nomination, but it is the thousands of other documents that will not be made public that are causing an uproar. And the hearings come as the president once again took aim at his own top justice official, attorney general jeff sessions. Abcs Kyra Phillips from capitol hill tonight. Reporter tonight, the stakes couldnt be higher, and judge Brett Kavanaugh knows it, completing at least two fullday mock hearings, peppered with interruptions by fake protesters. And democrats are making it clear, they will not go easy on the president S Supreme Court nominee. Now accusing the white house of withholding Key Information after the Trump Administration invoked executive privilege, blocking access to 100,000 pages of documents from kavanaughs time as a close aide to president george w. Bush. Chuck schumer tweeting, it has all the makings of a coverup. Its not normal, because we are not able to see 100,000 documents. Reporter but more than four times that number of documents have been made available to the committee, and thats just from his time in the executive branch. The 53yearold federal judge has perhaps the most extensive paper trail of a nominee. He served as a deputy to independent counsel ken starr during the Clinton Lewinsky scandal. Later writing that president s should not be distracted by investigations while in office. Something democrats pounced on. He chose the candidate who he thought would best protect him from the mueller investigation. Reporter sources say kavanaugh isnt expected to offer any commitment to recuse himself from cases involving investigations of president trump. The gop holds a razor thin majority, so kavanaugh will likely be confirmed, cementing a conservative 54 majority. Two possible republican holdouts, senators Lisa Murkowski and susan collins, signaling they will not vote for a justice that would overturn roe versus wade. Collins indicating a meeting with kavanaugh may have eased her fears. He said that it was settled law. Reporter but saying her decision isnt final yet. You never know what questions are going to come up. Reporter both senators collins and murkowski previously voted for kavanaugh when he was confirmed as a federal judge, and tom, by the time this confirmation vote comes around, the late senator john mccains seat is likely to be filled by another republican who almost certainly would vote yes. Tom . They hope to have that seat filled in time. And kyra, i want to turn to something the president tweeted about today, again going after attorney general jeff sessions. In that tweet, blasting sessions over the federal indictments of two republican congressmen just before the midterm elections, saying, quote, two easy wins are now in doubt. Those two congressmen charged with federal crimes this summer, kyra. Reporter right, hes referring there to new yorks Chris Collins and californias duncan hunter. The first two congressmen to endorse trumps candidacy. Collins now facing Insider Trading charges and hunter facing charges of Campaign Finance violations. Now, with the crucial midterm elections approaching, the house could be on the line. Critics slamming the president s tweet, saying hes trying to politicize the Justice Department. Its not clear if he thinks the charges are misguided or if its just the timing. No comment, tom, from the Justice Department or the white house tonight. Kyra phillips for us tonight. Kyra, thank you.
