May 28 President Donald Trump on Wednesday nominated Emil Bove, a high-ranking official in the Justice Department and one of his former defense attorneys, to become a federal appeals court judge.
In posts on Truth Special, Trump selected Bove, 44, for the 3rd circuit and five others to serve as federal district judges in Florida. All of these selections must be confirmed by the Senate in a majority vote.
The 3rd Circuit hears appeals from district courts in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the Virgin Islands.
«Emil is SMART, TOUGH, and respected by everyone», Trump wrote. «He will end the Weaponization of Justice, restore the Rule of Law, and do anything else that is necessary to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Emil Bove will never let you down.»
Bove represented Trump after he was indicted and then convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in New York stemming from a hush money deal with a porn actor.
