Emil Bove, nominated by President Donald Trump for the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, fell under heavy scrutiny during his confirmation hearing. A DOJ official and Trump attorney, Bove rejected claims of being a “henchman” and defended his adherence to the rule of law. Bove drew criticism for dropping corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams and questioning FBI probes into the January 6 attack.

Bove’s nomination advanced past the Senate Judiciary Committee, which voted 12-0. The Senate voted 50-48 to overcome a procedural hurdle, with Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski voting against and Senator Susan Collins expressing intent to oppose final confirmation. Bove awaits a final Senate confirmation vote for the lifetime judicial post.

Emil Bove is a Trump suck-up and a real creep. He’s the last person we want in the federal judiciary.
