Kavanaugh's credibility is 'very much in question,' says progressive activist

Progressive activist Igor Volsky on Monday said the credibility of Brett Kavanaugh is “very much in question,” especially now that a second woman has come forward accusing the Supreme Court nominee of sexual misconduct.

“What we’ve seen from the nominee when he was before the committee is he may have come very close to perjury in several instances that we now know about," Volsky told Hill.TV “Rising” co-hosts Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton. "We have this whole situation happening – another allegation coming last night.”

“If you look at his credibility before the committee, that’s in question – that’s very much in question, given all of the documents that came out, given the fact that there’s lots of documents that haven’t come out that this White House doesn’t want to come out," he added.

Democrats have repeatedly criticized Republicans over the release of documents tied to Kavanaugh's nomination. More than 42,000 documents relating to Kavanaugh's work during the George W. Bush administration made available to Senate Judiciary Committee members the night before the confirmation hearing was set to begin, giving lawmakers, particularly Democrats, little time to review them.

Democrats last week filed a lawsuit against the National Archives in an attempt to gain access to more of the judge's records that were previously deemed confidential.
