A second whistleblower has stepped forward with allegations that Justice Department (DOJ) official Emil Bove worked to defy court orders.
Bove, the No. 3 official at President Trump’s DOJ, has been nominated for a lifetime appointment to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals and is awaiting a final vote in the Senate.
He’s also been accused by DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni of suggesting the department’s attorneys may need to tell the courts “f‑‑‑ you” and defy any orders blocking the use of the Alien Enemies Act to send migrants to a prison in El Salvador.
A second whistleblower has now stepped forward to back Reuveni’s claims, saying Bove and other senior DOJ officials were “actively and deliberately undermining the rule of law.”
“Our client, whose identity we are protecting, has provided substantive, internal DOJ documents to the Inspector General, supporting former senior DOJ attorney-turned whistleblower Erez Reuveni’s allegations,” Whistleblower Aid, the group representing the second whistleblower, said in a press release.
“Reuveni’s whistleblower complaint exposes ‘high-level governmental personnel [at the DOJ who] knowingly and willfully defied court orders, directed their subordinate attorneys to make misrepresentations to courts, and engaged in a scheme to withhold relevant information from the court to advance the Administration’s priority of deporting noncitizens.’”
