💨 Abstract
The Senate confirmed Emil Bove, a former Trump lawyer and Justice Department official, as a federal appeals court judge by a 50-49 vote. Despite bipartisan criticism for his conduct, including dismissing charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and investigating January 6 prosecutors, Republicans supported his nomination. Defending himself during a confirmation hearing, Bove downplayed his role in these controversies.
