Bove's candidacy was sent to the U.S. Senate for a confirmation vote despite significant opposition from former judges and prosecutors.

Democrats walked out of a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for Trump DOJ official, Emil Bove, who the president's nominated to be a federal judge. NBC News’ Julie Tsirkin breaks it all down.

Officials from as far back as the Kennedy administration through the current Trump administration signed a letter opposing Bove's nomination.

Emil Bove declined to rule out the possibility of a third Trump term and did not denounce the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in a questionnaire submitted to a Senate panel.
