Some of Washington, D.C.’s top attorneys, Justice Department leaders and Trump administration insiders were at the White House Monday evening for Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s ceremonial oath-taking.
Top names in Washington’s legal community, including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Arnold & Porter’s Lisa Blatt, crowded into the East Room as retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, whom Kavanaugh replaces, delivered the ceremonial swearing-in. Kavanaugh was already privately sworn in at the Supreme Court Sunday.
