US EditionWhistleblower says senior DOJ official expressed willingness to ignore court orders
- Last month, President Trump nominated Emil Bove to serve on the federal appellate court overseeing Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, but his confirmation hearing was marked by allegations that he encouraged Justice Department attorneys to disregard judicial orders during deportation proceedings.
- These claims arise from a 27-page whistleblower report submitted yesterday by Erez Reuveni, a former Department of Justice lawyer, who alleged that Bove pushed to continue with deportation flights in March despite the possibility of court interventions.
- Bove testified under oath, denying the allegations and stating that he has at no time encouraged any Department of Justice lawyer to disregard a court injunction, describing the accusations as completely unfounded.
- Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Charles Grassley criticized the political timing of the disclosures, while Sen. Dick Durbin condemned Bove for abusing his position as part of efforts to undermine DOJ's rule of law commitment.
- The allegations intensified scrutiny of Bove's tenure, including his role in dropping New York Mayor Adams' corruption case, and may influence the Judiciary Committee's upcoming vote on his lifetime judicial appointment.
