Bove's candidacy was sent to the U.S. Senate for a confirmation vote despite significant opposition from former judges and prosecutors.
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday walked out of the confirmation hearing for Emil Bove, President Trump's former defense lawyer, to serve as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.

A group of former prosecutors are pushing to block the judicial nomination of Emil Bove, a former Trump attorney who they accused of being a "hatchet man," according to memos obtained by CBS News.
Judge Michael Luttig, a critic of Trump who sought to disqualify the 47th president, is leading a charge to torpedo Bove’s bid.
