It was just a month ago that Trump's former lawyer, Emil Bove, said he "couldn't recall" suggesting that the Department of Justice should ignore court orders, saying, "fuck you" to the courts that interfered with the President's deportation orders. That information came from a whistleblower, and a lot has happened since then as Republicans try to ram Bove through for a lifetime appointment to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals without regard for ethics.
A third whistleblower has new information. The latest whistleblower appears to corroborate the first two, having shared evidence with lawmakers, suggesting that the controversial former attorney for Donald Trump and current top Justice Department official misled lawmakers during his confirmation hearing last month.
Via The Washington Post:
The information follows revelations from two other Justice Department whistleblowers who have said that Bove told subordinates in a meeting in March that they may need to ignore court orders that would hamper Trump’s campaign to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. One of those whistleblowers, ousted Justice Department attorney Erez Reuveni, has since gone public with his account.
The new whistleblower has provided information about Bove’s behavior in a separate Justice Department matter.
