Trump Judicial Nominee Bove Denies Whistleblower Claims
- Emil Bove, who was nominated last month by President Trump to serve on the federal appellate court covering Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, rejected claims against him during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.
- These claims stem from a whistleblower complaint submitted Tuesday by former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni, who alleged that top officials intended to disregard court orders concerning March deportation flights targeting Venezuelan immigrants.
- Bove testified he never advised DOJ attorneys to violate court orders and called the claims of ignoring orders falsely attributed to him "wildly inaccurate," asserting the department intended to comply.
- During questioning, Bove denied ever encouraging any Department of Justice attorney to disregard a court order and stated that the recent complaint does not undermine his suitability to serve as a judge.
- The Judiciary Committee plans to vote on Bove's nomination soon, amid ongoing debate reflecting broader conflicts about executive authority versus bureaucratic challenges in the DOJ.
