A third whistleblower has stepped forward with evidence that federal judicial nominee Emil Bove lied to senators during his confirmation hearing last month. Staff for Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley met Monday with lawyers for the whistleblower. This follows two prior whistleblower complaints alleging that while serving as a senior Justice Department official, Bove ordered subordinates to ignore judicial orders that undermine Trump’s agenda. Despite those complaints, North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis said Monday his “yes” vote remains unchanged, likely giving Bove enough support for his confirmation. Bove is Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense attorney, nominated to a lifetime appointment on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
