A former federal prosecutor in #SDNY, #EmilBove was on Trump’s [losing] legal team during his New York hush money trial & defended #Trump in the 2 federal #criminal cases. He will serve on the #3rdCircuit Court of Appeals, which hears cases from #Delaware, #NewJersey & #Pennsylvania.
If confirmed by the #Senate, #EmilBove will serve on the #3rdCircuit Court of Appeals, which hears cases from Delaware, New Jersey & Pennsylvania.
#Democrats said Bove has proven himself himself unfit for the #LifetimeAppointment during his short tenure at the #DOJ, accusing him of abusing his power & putting his loyalties to #Trump above all else.
#EmilBove’s nomination for the #3rdCircuit Court of Appeals has come under intense scrutiny after a fired #DOJ lawyer claimed in a complaint filed Tuesday that Bove used an expletive when he said during a meeting that the #Trump admin might need to ignore #judicial commands. Bove pushed back against suggestions from #Democrats that the #whistleblower’s claims make him #unfit for the federal bench.
Here's why Bove's confirmation to the #3rdCircuit would be a disaster:
