More than 75 Former Judges Urge Senate Committee to Reject Trump Judicial Nominee Emil Bove
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – Two dozen groups oppose Emil Bove's 3rd Circuit nomination over whistleblower claims and his order blocking prosecution of NYC's mayor, urging Senate rejection.
- On Tuesday, a coalition of over 75 former judges from federal and state courts urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to oppose Emil Bove’s nomination to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ahead of Thursday’s scheduled vote.
- The opposition stems from Bove's role as President Trump's former personal attorney and Justice Department official, with allegations he abused power and violated court orders to advance Trump's deportation agenda.
- Bove executed controversial Justice Department moves, including investigating January 6-related officials, dropping corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, triggering mass resignations, and clashing with career staff.
- Whistleblower Erez Reuveni has presented the committee with strong evidence that Bove directed DOJ personnel to disregard court orders and has expressed willingness to provide sworn testimony, which judges argue the Senate should hear.
- If confirmed, Bove would hold lifetime appellate jurisdiction over cases from four jurisdictions, raising integrity concerns despite GOP Sen. Thom Tillis indicating inclination to support him even though Bove declined to condemn January 6 violence.
