Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee stormed out of a meeting Thursday morning where they were set to vote on President Donald Trump’s Court of Appeals nominee Emil Bove.
The president tapped his personal attorney-turned-Justice-Department-official for a lifetime appointment on the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, but the nomination has faced pushback from Democrats and legal experts who argued he is unfit to serve on the federal bench.
Democrats called on the committee to hear from a whistleblower who accused Bove of telling government lawyers earlier this year that they may need to disobey court orders as the Trump administration fought the legal system over the president’s agenda.
