Here's what happened to the documents (that an outside vendor decided weren't duplicates) turned over by NARA to GWB lawyers to review (and remember this is ONLY from Kavanaugh's time in the counsel's office): https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/the-trump-administration-is-keeping-100000-pages-of-brett … —>pic.twitter.com/nmoszkKo1v

Another night, another story on the 100,000+ pages of Kavanuagh documents that no one is going to get to see. Tonight, DOJ acknowledged that it made the call on which docs to withhold.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1036820727301898242 …

Replying to @chrisgeidner
I still don’t understand what the governing procedures are here. Both the statute and EO require that privilege claims be made by the former or current president personally. There is nothing allowing the former president’s lawyer or the Justice Department to assert privilege.

There was no assertion. These documents were provided to the committee under 2205(3).

But the committee requested documents from the archives. 2205(3) allows the former president access, but it doesn’t have anything to do with NARA’s duty to produce documents to the committee.
