More than 900 former Justice Department employees sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday urging lawmakers to vote down the nomination of Emil Bove, the controversial top DOJ official who formerly served as President Donald Trump's defense attorney, to a seat on the powerful Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

It is intolerable to us that anyone who disgraces the Justice Department would be promoted to one of the highest courts in the land,” they wrote to senators.
