Senate Judiciary Democrats, led by U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, have filed a formal misconduct complaint against Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove. The complaint, filed with the New York State Bar's Attorney Grievance Committee, accuses Bove of coercing an elected state official, specifically New York City Mayor Eric Adams, for political gain related to President Trump. It notes multiple resignations from Department of Justice officials who deemed Bove's orders unethical, emphasizing concerns over improper political influence within the DOJ and calling for an investigation and disciplinary action against Bove.
Mr. Bove has abused his position in numerous ways, including using the prosecutorial power of the federal government to coerce an elected state municipal officer to pursue policies to the political benefit of President Donald J. Trump.
The complaint details the resignation of multiple Department of Justice officials who refused to carry out what they viewed as an unethical order from Bove regarding the dismissal of the charges against Adams.
The letter requests the Departmental Disciplinary Committee for the First Judicial Department to initiate an investigation and take appropriate disciplinary action.
