The Senate Judiciary Committee announced Brett Kavanaugh’s U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearing will start Sept. 4 as documents showed he argued against indicting Bill Clinton while he was president.

Memos Kavanaugh wrote as a prosecutor working for Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr’s investigation of Clinton also suggested that he may be sympathetic to House Republicans’ demand for information about the Justice Department’s investigation of Russian efforts to influence in the 2016 election.
