Democrats walk out of Bove, Pirro meeting as panel advances controversial Trump nominees
UNITED STATES SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, JUL 16 – Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans advanced Emil Bove's lifetime judicial nomination despite Democratic walkout over ethics concerns and a whistleblower's claims of misconduct, a 12-0 vote confirmed.
- On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Emil Bove’s nomination despite a walkout by Democratic members.
- Amid the uproar, a complaint details that the Justice Department whistleblower alleges Bove pressured staff to mislead and curse at federal judges, stemming from his defense of Trump’s migrant deportation flights.
- Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley refused to allow the whistleblower to testify before the vote, while over 900 former DOJ lawyers signed a letter expressing `deep concern` about the nomination.
- With all GOP senators in agreement, a committee aide told Scripps News, reporting a 12-0 vote.
- Looking ahead, Bove’s nomination could secure a lifetime seat on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, where Republicans’ 53-47 majority needs four defections to block him.
