Republicans have approved Emil Bove for a lifetime appointment on the federal appeals court, ignoring whistleblower reports about his questionable actions while in the Justice Department. And on Wednesday, a fourth came forward.
Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats posted on Bluesky, "A fourth whistleblower has come forward with information about Emil Bove, a Trump judicial nominee who Senate Republicans rubberstamped yesterday. Bove helped orchestrate the blanket pardons of violent January 6 rioters."
The move comes as the Judiciary Committee Chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), celebrated "National Whistleblower Day." Grassley was the one who blocked the whistleblowers from being heard on Bove's nomination.
Erez Reuveni, a former Justice Department prosecutor, was among the whistleblowers, who had emails and text messages to confirm his allegations. Another is being represented by a nonprofit organization founded to help whistleblowers of Bove named Whistleblower Aid. The third gave evidence that Bove "misled" the Judiciary Committee while under oath for his confirmation.
