"I was the president's nominee. I know he consulted widely—very widely—to get input at least on the people who were finalists," Kavanaugh said Wednesday during an exchange with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island.

U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was pressed Wednesday about what role, if any, the conservative Federalist Society played in his nomination.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, questioned Kavanaugh about comments White House Counsel Donald McGahn made in November that rejected the contention the White House has “outsourced” judge-picking to the Federalist Society. The group has been a major influence in the Trump White House selection of judicial nominees.
