Federal appeals court nominee Emil Bove, denying a whistleblower's account, says he never told DOJ attorneys to ignore court orders.

President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, Emil Bove, was pushed to repeatedly deny several accusations of corruption – one made by a whistleblower at the Justice Department – during his confirmation hearing Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Emil Bove forcefully pushed back against suggestions from Democrats that the whistleblower's claims make him unfit to serve on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
