More than 900 ex-US judicial department employees warn of Trump Justicial candidate Emil Bove


On Wednesday, more than 900 former employees of the US Ministry of Justice warned that the Senate, controlled by Republicans, warned President Donald Trump's candidate Emil Bove as an appellant.

The letter takes place one day before the committee is supposed to vote on the promotion of BOVES nomination to the US Court of Appeal for the third circle to the complete Senate.

“We are all alerted about the recent deviations from Doj Leadership of constitutional principles and institutional guardrails,” wrote the former employees and added that he had “ashamed” the department.

“Emil Bove was a leader in this attack.”

The letter was signed by officials, which was used by Kennedy administration by the current Trump administration and organized by Justice Connection.

Doj defends Bove

Gates McGavick, a DOJ spokesman, defended Bove in a statement on Wednesday and said that he was “a highly qualified judicial candidate who did incredible work in the Ministry of Justice to protect civil rights, reduce foreign terrorist organizations and make America back safe.”

BOVE, a high -ranking Doj official, who is also part of Trump's defense team in his 2023 criminal trial in New York, has been fired due to aggressive tactics.

He was involved in decisions to shoot the prosecutors who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Bove also put pressure on the prosecutors in Manhattan and Washington, DC, under pressure, the indictment for corruption against New York Mayor Eric Adams, and asked eleven lawyers to withdraw in protest.

Most recently, a former lawyer of the Ministry of Justice, who had admitted that the government had submitted a complaint from Whistleblower with El Salvador, who had deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BOVE denied that the department's lawyers could consider the courts.

At the beginning of this week, 76 former federal and state judges also sent a letter to the committee that was against Bove's nomination.
