Summary: Brett Kavanaugh is Trump's supreme court nomination. Kavanaugh spent time as a lawyer working for the Bush administration. Typically under the presidential records act, all the records of Kavanaugh's time with the Bush administration should be made available to the public. The white house, however, is preventing some of these documents from being released by consulting with the justice department. Never before has a president done this.
Analysis: It is horrendously suspicious that Trump would try to keep information that concerns his supreme court nomination from the public right before he is inducted. They would like to have this go unnoticed and tried to sneak it by during the holiday weekend and right before Mccain's funeral. I think the very fact that even though there is an act in place to try to let the public have access to important information about a future leader that decides countless laws and has extreme influence can just be bypassed and bent to meet this administrations agenda. It is also gross how little we can hold these people accountable even if we do find out they are trying to cover up a scandal because by the time we do the country will already have felt the effects and they will have achieved what they were trying to do. The only way to try to break this cycle is to try to stay informed about all these things and to remember them. Politicians rely on the public having a short-term memory.
