Emil Bove, a top Department of Justice official who previously served as President Donald Trump’s personal defense attorney, was confirmed on Tuesday to be a judge on the powerful 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Bove eked out a victory after a contentious confirmation process that included a number of whistleblower complaints about his fitness as a judicial nominee.
The vote to confirm him was 50-49, with two Republican senators voting against him and one GOP senator not voting.
The two Republican senators who voted against confirming Bove were:
Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski
Maine Senator Susan Collins
Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee did not vote.
