On Monday evening, Trump named Kavanaugh as his pick to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Anthony Kennedy's decision to retire.
Trump told 30 Republican senators Monday that he had spoken with Bush about Kavanaugh, who worked in his White House, according to one of the sources, a Republican familiar with the call.
