Trump launches a battery of judicial nominations to combat Democratic lawfare, including that of his former personal attorney Emil Bove

Donald Trump has thrown himself full force into fighting the lawfare of Democratic judges that systematically blocks his initiatives in the courts. And not just with appeals or lawsuits, but from within, as indicated by the composition of the second battery of nominations to fill positions in courts across the country, which includes his former defense attorney Emil Bove.

The president announced the names of his picks in a series of posts on his Truth Social account, highlighting from all of them their commitment to enforcing the law and their fight to end the "instrumentalization of Justice."

Among the six new nominees, who must be confirmed by the Senate, notably included is Emil Bove, one of Trump’s attorneys in the Stormy Daniels case, which resulted in the Republican becoming the first convicted president-elect in U.S. history.

Trump is nominating Bove for a seat on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which is charged with considering appeals filed in federal district courts in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the Virgin Islands.

Bove "will put an end to the instrumentalization of justice and restore the rule of law"

The president justified his candidacy because "Emil is SMART, TOUGH and respected by all. He will put an end to the instrumentalization of justice, restore the Rule of Law and do whatever it takes to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Emil Bove will never let you down!"

In addition to Bove's nomination, Trump nominated five others for various offices, all in Florida: Kyle Dudek, Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe, Jordan E. Pratt and John Guard to become judges of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of the Sunshine State and Ed Artau for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of the same state.
