Trump Nominates Former Personal Lawyer Emil Bove to 3rd Circuit, Sparking Criticism

“Mr. Bove’s alleged misconduct not only speaks to his fitness as a lawyer, but his activities are part of a broader pattern by President Trump and his allies to undermine the traditional independence of the Justice Department and the rule of law," said U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois. "The silver lining of today’s news is that the [Senate Judiciary] Committee will now have the chance to question Mr. Bove, under oath, about his alleged professional misconduct and more.”
