QUESTION: “I wanted to ask you a little bit – maybe you have some personal knowledge of Judge Kavanaugh, I have a feeling that you have appeared before him. Can you tell us a little bit about what he’s like on the bench?”
VERRILLI JR. “Judge Kavanaugh is a brilliant jurist and he’s a very gracious person, both on the bench and off.”
