The confirmation hearing for US President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee quickly descended into chaos Tuesday with opposition Democrats demanding an adjournment and protesters repeatedly interrupting the proceedings.
"I move to adjourn," said Senator Richard Blumenthal, one of several Democrats who interrupted the introductory remarks by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley, in an extraordinary opening to the hearing of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
"What is the rush? What are we hiding by not letting these documents come out?" asked Senator Cory Booker, referring to thousands of documents relating to Kavanaugh's work in the Bush White House that Trump's administration has withheld prior to the hearing.
