Anthony Kennedy Advocated For Kavanaugh To Fill His Supreme Court Seat, Book Says
The former Supreme Court justice reportedly pulled President Trump aside in 2017, saying his former clerk should be added to the list of potential nominees.
Former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy personally lobbied President Donald Trump to add Brett Kavanaugh to his list of potential replacements when he was preparing for his retirement, according to a new book set to be released next month.
The Washington Post first reported details of a secret meeting between Kennedy and Trump in 2017, shortly after the then-justice swore in the president’s first appointee to the nation’s highest court, Neil Gorsuch. During the conversation, Kennedy reportedly told Trump he should consider adding Kavanaugh, one of his former clerks, to his list of potential nominees. Kavanaugh hadn’t been on Trump’s first two lists of candidates.
