Senate Democrats say they are planning to meet with Brett Kavanaugh, adding to a short list of party lawmakers who have now sat down with President Trump's Supreme Court nominee.
"We are trying to work something out," Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Tuesday when asked if she would be meeting with Kavanaugh.
Broke the stalemate by agreeing to meet with Kavanaugh earlier this month.
"I've certainly indicated that I'd be willing to," Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., told the Washington Examiner, when asked if he would meet with Kavanaugh.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced he plans to begin Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing on Sept. 4, so it's likely Kavanaugh will hold many meetings with Senate Democrats in August, when the chamber is in a rare summer session.
Kavanaugh's meetings with Democrats will take place as Schumer continues to battle with the GOP over access to Kavanaugh's lengthy work history.
Republicans plan a vote to confirm Kavanaugh in time for the Oct. 1 beginning of the Supreme Court's new term.
