That complaint recounted that Mr. Bove suggested DOJ might need to say "f--- you" to federal courts that issued orders that the Administration opposed.

Additionally, Erez Reuveni, a career Justice Department attorney who defended the first Trump Administration’s immigration policies, filed a whistleblower complaint with my office regarding Mr. Bove.
He led the Administration’s effort to strike a corrupt bargain with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and has been trailed by a history of complaints—long predating his affiliation with President Trump—about his temperament, poor judgment, and lack of candor before the court.
Today’s Committee executive business meeting included 10 nominees—among them Emil Bove, nominated for a lifetime appointment on the federal bench.
Mr. Bove belongs nowhere near the federal bench.

Sen. BOOKER just lambasted Republicans for trying to ram through judicial nominees and break committee rules.
Democrats walked out.
Watch. 🔥
Big Pharma’s newest scheme funnels patients to telehealth companies chosen and paid by drug companies—this can lead to inappropriate prescribing.
My colleagues and I are exposing Big Pharma’s ploy to promote and sell expensive medications, risking inferior patient care.
BREAKING: I just released an investigative report on Big Pharma’s sales scheme to steer patients towards costly medications.
Handpicking telehealth companies to treat Pfizer & Eli Lilly patients creates a potential conflict of interest & raises Rx costs.
We are talking about a LIFETIME appointment to the federal bench. Shameful.
This morning, I voted against Senate Republicans’ rescissions package that claws back $9 billion for foreign aid & public broadcasting funding.
In the dead of night, Senate Republicans are forcing through legislation to gut funding for foreign aid & public broadcasting.
I joined @shaheen.senate.gov & Sen. Murkowski to push back with an amendment to restore $260M in assistance to Ukraine.
Senate Republicans just voted it down.
Today, I filed amendments to President Trump’s rescissions request that would protect funding for Ukraine and Paul Simon global clean water programs.
I urge my Senate colleagues to join me in preserving these strategic bipartisan programs and support these amendments.
Republicans voted against funding for critical mineral supply chains, cybersecurity infrastructure, and global health and assistance programs.
This rescissions package threatens the long-term safety, stability, and global leadership of our country and Republicans know it.
FFA does incredible work helping students towards great careers in the ag and food sector.
Today, I welcomed Illinois’ new FFA state leadership team in my DC office.
I’m unconvinced she learned the lessons of her failed predecessor Ed Martin.
I implore my Republican colleagues to hold a high bar for the top law enforcement officer in our nation’s capital—and reject this nomination.
And ultimately, she’s a Donald Trump loyalist, vengefully attacking his perceived political opponents and showing no willingness to put the rule of law ahead of the President’s wishes.
She’s an election denialist, recklessly peddling President Trump’s Big Lie despite even her own Fox News producers and executives warning her to reel it in.
She’s a January 6 apologist, siding with violent insurrectionists over law enforcement by supporting criminal charges against line prosecutors handling insurrection-related cases.
I met with Ms. Pirro as I do many nominees when extended a courtesy meeting ahead of potential committee action on their nomination.
Ms. Pirro’s record deeply troubles me as she’s considered to be a top law enforcement official.
I just met with Jeanine Pirro to discuss her nomination to be U.S. Attorney for D.C. 🧵
