Sen. Dianne Feinstein said a White House “entangled by indictments, guilty pleas and criminal convictions” forms a backdrop for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing that began Tuesday.

As Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, began the hearing, California Sen. Kamala Harris immediately interceded to try to delay the hearing.

“You are out of order, I’ll proceed …” Grassley said as he allowed the contentious hearing to continue unabated.

Senate Democrats were furious about an 11th-hour document dump, and an additional 100,000 documents from Kavanaugh’s days in the George W. Bush administration that are being withheld.
