Emil Bove was confirmed by the Senate for a lifetime appointment as a federal appeals court judge in a narrow 50-49 vote. He formerly served as a Trump lawyer and was involved in prosecutions related to the January 6 Capitol attack. Democrats opposed Bove's nomination due to his current role at the Justice Department and actions related to high-profile cases, including that of New York Mayor Eric Adams. Whistleblower evidence has surfaced, suggesting Bove may have misconducted himself, including implications of ignoring judicial commands, which he denies.
Bove's nomination as a federal appeals court judge was confirmed by the Senate with a 50-49 vote despite whistleblower allegations regarding his conduct at the Justice Department.
Democrats highlighted Bove's role in the dismissal of the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and his investigation into department officials involved in January 6 prosecutions.
Evidence from whistleblowers includes claims that Bove suggested the Trump administration might ignore judicial commands, which he has denied, and an audio recording contradicting his confirmation testimony.
Bove accused FBI officials of insubordination for not providing the names of agents who investigated the January 6 attack and dismissed a group of prosecutors involved in those cases.
