US EditionEmil Bove Is Considered for Circuit Court Nomination
- Emil Bove III, 44, a senior official at the Justice Department and former personal lawyer to Trump, is being considered for a federal appellate judgeship in the region covering Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware in 2025.
- Bove's consideration for nomination comes after his swift advancement within the department, including a brief tenure as interim deputy attorney general and his involvement in the contentious effort to have the legal case against New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams dropped.
- His dismissal filing prompted resignations from career prosecutors who described it as a 'quid pro quo,' and Bove personally argued the case resulting in a court granting the dismissal.
- National Review called Bove’s potential nomination 'disturbing news' and questioned his judicial temperament, noting ethics complaints and speculation about using the judgeship as a Supreme Court stepping stone.
- Should the Senate approve his nomination, Emil Bove would secure a lifetime position on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, although it remains uncertain which specific vacancy he would occupy or whether the president has finalized his choice.
