In the wake of the latest allegations, Booker and his party colleague Sen. Adam Schiff of California sent a letter to the Justice Department's acting inspector general William Blier asking whether his office has launched an investigation into Bove.

Bove — Trump's former defense attorney in three of his four criminal cases — is currently the third in command at the Justice Department. He was nominated in June for a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, and a final full Senate vote is expected to take place this week.

Bove — Trump's former defense attorney in three of his four criminal cases — is currently the third in command at the Justice Department. He was nominated in June for a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, and a final full Senate vote is expected to take place this week.

This comes as a fired Justice Department attorney named Erez Reuveni filed a whistleblower complaint in June alleging that Bove had instructed his subordinates to ignore court injunctions to carry out deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, and to mislead courts and suppress evidence in high-profile immigration cases.

A second whistleblower — a former attorney in the Justice Department's Office of Immigration Litigation — came forward last Friday to disclose internal documents filed in May to the Inspector General, which appear to corroborate the account of Reuveni.

Bove is one of the remaining Trump nominees whose confirmation processes Senate Democrats have sought to delay. Two Republicans — Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine — have indicated they will vote against him, but the Republicans have a 53-47 Senate majority.

Democrats need two additional Republican votes beyond Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski to block Bove's confirmation, as Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority and Vice President JD Vance could break any tie.

These whistleblower allegations represent a desperate, last-minute smear campaign by Democrats who can't accept Trump's judicial nominees. The timing is suspicious - coming right before the final vote after Bove already received committee approval. Republicans have dismissed these claims as baseless attacks from disgruntled ex-employees, and Grassley's office correctly noted the "eleventh-hour allegations" shared with Democrats and media but not the committee chairman "reek of bad faith.".

Multiple whistleblowers with documented evidence have raised serious concerns about Bove's fitness for a lifetime judicial appointment. The allegations that he suggested defying court orders and misled senators during testimony are deeply troubling for someone seeking to serve on the federal bench. These aren't partisan attacks but legitimate concerns from career Justice Department attorneys who witnessed potential misconduct firsthand and filed formal complaints with the inspector general.
