Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was a central part of the investigation into Bill Clinton’s sex scandal and penned lewd questions that he thought prosecutors should ask to Monica Lewinsky.
Kavanaugh served as an attorney alongside Special Prosecutor Ken Starr during the investigation into Clinton’s sexual liaisons with White House intern Lewinsky in the late 1990s.
The probe eventually led to Clinton’s impeachment.
A draft of the list of questions Kavanaugh wanted Starr to ask Clinton during the investigation in the late 90’s, first emerged in Ken Gormley’s book The Death of American Virtue, which was released in 2010, according to The Wrap.

A 2010 book claims that Kavanaugh asked Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr (together in 1998 impeachment hearing of President Bill Clinton) to ask a scandal plagued Clinton about when and where he ‘ejaculated’ relating to the Monica Lewinsky scandal

Among the questions the book says Kavanaugh had prepared were:
‘If Monica Lewinsky says that you ejaculated into her mouth on two occasions in the Oval Office area, would she be lying?’
‘If Monica Lewinsky says that on several occasions you had her give [you] oral sex, made her stop, and then ejaculated into the sink in the bathroom of the Oval Office, would she be lying?’
‘If Monica Lewinsky says that you masturbated into a trashcan in your secretary’s office would she be lying?’
Kavanaugh will still face a Senate confirmation hearing.
Kavanaugh has a long judicial history for both Republicans and Democrats to pick through during the hours of Judiciary Committee hearings that will dominate cable news in the weeks to come.
He has written nearly 300 opinions in 12 years as a judge along with a plethora of legal articles.
There are thousands of files and emails from his time in the Bush White House plus the 20,000 pages of material he compiled while working on the Starr investigation.
It’s common for a major nomination to trigger a paperwork avalanche.
Last year, the Justice Department sent the Senate more than 144,000 pages of records relating to Justice Neil Gorsuch’s time in the agency.
Kavanaugh’s long, and controversial history, could give Democrats an opportunity to delay the confirmation vote into October, when the Supreme Court’s new term begins and when the midterm election is looming ahead.
