Trump's pick for US Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, suggested prosecutors ask Bill Clinton lewd questions about his sexual encounters with Monica Lewinsky during the '90s investigation.

Kavanaugh served as an attorney alongside Special Prosecutor Ken Starr during the investigation into Clinton's sexual liaisons with White House intern Lewinsky in the late 1990s.

The probe eventually led to Clinton's impeachment.

A draft of the list of questions Kavanaugh wanted Starr to ask Clinton during the investigation in the late 90's, first emerged in Ken Gormley's book The Death of American Virtue, which was released in 2010, according to The Wrap.

Among the questions the book says Kavanaugh had prepared were:

'If Monica Lewinsky says that you ejaculated into her mouth on two occasions in the Oval Office area, would she be lying?'

'If Monica Lewinsky says that on several occasions you had her give [you] oral sex, made her stop, and then ejaculated into the sink in the bathroom of the Oval Office, would she be lying?'

'If Monica Lewinsky says that you masturbated into a trashcan in your secretary's office would she be lying?'

Kavanaugh will still face a Senate confirmation hearing.

Kavanaugh has a long judicial history for both Republicans and Democrats to pick through during the hours of Judiciary Committee hearings that will dominate cable news in the weeks to come.
