💨 Abstract

The Senate voted 50-48 to start considering Emil Bove, former Trump lawyer and Justice Department official, for a federal appeals court. Democrats oppose Bove, citing his perceived loyalty to Trump and controversial actions, such as suggesting the DOJ might ignore judicial orders. Despite protests and delays, Republicans aim to confirm Bove swiftly, possibly skipping the August recess. Bove denies wrongdoing and claims his actions were misunderstood.
