Protests disrupt US Supreme Court justice hearing

From Morning Report, 6:45 am on 5 September 2018

A confirmation hearing for Donald Trump's choice for Supreme Court justice has been disrupted by protests from both members of the public and senators. As the hearing began Democratic Senators argued that, because 100,000 pages of documents from Judge Brett Kavanaugh's time as a White House adviser have not been released, the committee is not capable of making a decision on his appointment. Susie Ferguson talks to Washington DC correspondent Daniel Ryntjes.
