The Senate confirmed Emil Bove as a federal appeals judge, a former Trump defense lawyer. He previously held a significant role in the Justice Department, participating in actions like pardoning January 6 rioters and dropping charges against the New York Mayor. A whistleblower claimed Bove suggested defying court orders, though he denied making such recommendations during his Senate confirmation hearing. His transition from personal lawyer to federal judge is unprecedented and raises questions regarding his impartiality, especially amid the Justice Department's contentious relationship with the judiciary.
