Judiciary ranking member Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) is pushing the White House to resolve “ambiguities” in the thousands of pages of Clinton-era documents related to the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan.
In a letter to White House Counsel Robert Bauer on Friday, Sessions said, “I am concerned by certain ambiguities that have arisen regarding assertions of executive privilege, as well as any potential privilege designations that may be made ... and ask that you provide clarity now so that there is no confusion or dispute regarding this issue at a later date.”
Kagan worked for the Clinton administration for several years, and the William J. Clinton Presidential Library is preparing to release tens of thousands of documents to the committee as part of her confirmation process. Republicans have threatened to ask for a delay in the hearings if they are not released.
