Booker Statement on Whistleblower’s Allegations Against Emil Bove

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement following the release of text messages, email exchanges, and documents further corroborating the whistleblower disclosures of Mr. Erez Reuveni, formerly the Acting Deputy Director for the Office of Immigration Litigation at the Department of Justice, about Emil Bove's nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

"During his confirmation hearing, Mr. Bove testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he had never advised a Department of Justice attorney to violate a court order. These text messages, email exchanges, and documents clearly show Mr. Bove doing just that-crudely discussing defying court orders, leading an effort to deliberately mislead our courts, and demanding DOJ attorneys violate their ethical duties to advance President Trump's immigration agenda.

"Anyone who says 'f*** you' to a court order is unfit to be a member of the legal profession let alone a federal judge. These documents prove Mr. Bove lacks the character, judgment, and integrity required to serve a lifetime appointment on the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. The people of New Jersey deserve a judge who upholds the rule of law, and I urge my Republican colleagues on the Committee to consider the disastrous implications before voting to confirm Mr. Bove to one of the highest courts in our land."
