US EditionSenate confirms former Trump attorney Emil Bove as U.S. appeals court judge
UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – Senate Republicans confirmed Emil Bove 50-49 despite whistleblower claims of misconduct and opposition from over 900 former Justice Department lawyers and judges.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate approved Emil Bove, who previously worked as President Trump's personal attorney and held a senior role at the Justice Department, for a lifetime position on the federal appellate bench covering Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
- Bove's confirmation followed strong opposition from Democrats and two moderate Republicans amid whistleblower allegations and concerns about his Justice Department tenure.
- Earlier this month during his confirmation hearing, Bove responded to criticism by denying that he advocated for ignoring judicial orders and rejecting portrayals of himself as an enforcer or henchman for Trump.
- The Senate confirmed Bove by a narrow 50-49 vote with two Republicans opposed and one senator absent, while Senator John Kennedy defended him saying, "If everyone's corrupt, no one is corrupt."
- His confirmation reestablishes GOP control of the appeals court and maintains Trump's impact on the federal judiciary amid ongoing disputes and partisan disagreements.
