Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans advance nomination of former Trump lawyer Emil Bove as Democrats walk out

Source: CNN

“Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans voted on Thursday to advance the nomination of Emil Bove, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, to a federal judgeship, over the loud protests of Democrats. The vote — in which all 12 Republican committee members voted to move Bove’s nomination forward — occurred as Democratic Sen. Cory Booker railed against Republican committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and as every Democratic senator walked out. If he is ultimately confirmed by the Senate, Bove, a senior Justice Department official, will hold a lifetime appointment to the bench for the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals. … Last month, a whistleblower letter from a terminated DOJ employee alleged that Bove and other top Justice Department officials intended to ignore court orders and mislead federal judges.” (07/17/25)
