💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump nominated Emil Bove, his former criminal defense lawyer and a controversial acting deputy attorney general, to become a federal appeals court judge. Bove, who dropped a corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and issued several contentious orders, was appointed to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Bove's tenure in the Justice Department has been marked by actions aligning the department with Trump's policies, leading to resignations and disputes within the department.
