The man who spearheaded the administration’s effort to remake the Department of Justice into Trump’s ideal is up for a hearing Tuesday morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee over his nomination to be a federal appeals court judge.
Emil Bove is a former Manhattan federal prosecutor who, until January, was a personal lawyer to President Trump in his criminal cases. He has served in various senior roles in the first months of the Trump DOJ, including associate deputy attorney general. Trump nominated Bove to a position on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
We expect much about his DOJ tenure to come up at the hearing. Follow along below.
