Emil Bove will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday for his nomination to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

Trump nominated Bove, his principal associate deputy attorney general and former criminal defense attorney, to the federal bench in May, after Bove’s monthslong tenure at the Department of Justice implementing some of the most controversial Trump administration moves at DOJ. In his capacity at the department, he has helmed the dismissal of federal corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and helped terminate staffers who aided cases tied to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Snip

Last week, Whitehouse asked DOJ for a host of documents about Bove’s work at the Department, including those related to his dismissal of charges against Adams. The decision to end the Adams case — which coincided with Adams’ commitment to cooperate with the administration on immigration enforcement at the Rikers jail — also shepherded the resignation of a number of DOJ attorneys.
