The Senate confirmed President Donald Trump’s controversial former personal attorney to a lifetime federal appeals court post Tuesday on a narrow party-line vote.
Emil Bove, who has served as a Justice Department official in the first few months of Trump’s second term, will take a lifetime post on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit despite Democrats’ concerns about his efforts to reshape the department in Trump’s image.
Those concerns included reported comments contemplating defying court orders and dropping a corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams for Adams’ support of Trump’s immigration policies.
