#shorts Senator Kennedy asked the nominee, “What did the White House give you to prepare for today’s hearing?” asked the senator.
“Senator, um, there were a number of meetings with the White House council’s office,” the nominee replied.
“Did they give you any written materials to read?” asked the senator.
“There were some written materials,” the nominee confirmed.
“Tell me, what were those?” inquired the senator.
“Um, there were materials that were already in the record – questions and answers from prior hearings,” the nominee explained.
“So, they gave you a list of questions and answers from prior hearings?” clarified the senator.
“Um, an overview, I would say,” replied the nominee.
“How many questions and answers did they give you?” pressed the senator.
“I’m not sure, senator, sitting here. I’m not sure exactly how many questions,” the nominee admitted.
“Was it more than 10?” asked the senator.
“Yes,” replied the nominee.
“More than 50?” asked the senator.
“I don’t believe so,” said the nominee.
“And whose questions were they?” asked the senator.
“They were senators’ questions. Which ones?” the nominee responded.
“There were some of your questions,” the senator chuckled.
“But I also watched many hearings,” the nominee added.

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman,” the nominee said as they finished speaking.
“I pay tribute to you, senator,” Chairman Durbin said.
“I am smiling” Senator Kennedy said.
