The Spin

These allegations represent a desperate, last-minute smear campaign that Democrats who can't accept Trump's judicial nominees are carrying out with the support of disgruntled former federal employees. The timing is suspicious — right before the final vote — and the fact that they have been shared with the media rather than with the committee's chairman or his staff reeks of bad faith.

Multiple whistleblowers with documented evidence have raised serious concerns about Bove's fitness for a lifetime judicial appointment, as the allegations levied against him are deeply troubling for someone nominated 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.
