A third whistleblower has spoken out against Justice Department official Emil Bove as the former attorney for President Donald Trump seeks a lifetime confirmation to the federal judiciary.
The latest anonymous informant claims that Bove misled Senate leaders at his confirmation hearing last month when discussing the DOJ’s decision to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
The most recent whistleblower shared their evidence with Sen. Cory Booker’s office, according to The Washington Post. Booker and Sen. Adam Schiff sent a letter to William Blier, the Department of Justice’s acting inspector general, on Tuesday, calling for the DOJ to investigate the third whistleblower’s claims.
“In the event these whistleblower complaints and other reports have not already prompted investigations by your office, we urge you to undertake a thorough review of these disclosures and allegations,” the senators wrote in a letter obtained by POLITICO.
Trump nominated Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit in June. Since his nomination, Bove has been accused of suggesting DOJ staffers defy court orders that could restrict the Trump administration’s immigration and deportation agenda. The first whistleblower, former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni, eventually went public with his allegations. The second whistleblower confirmed Reuveni’s claims.
