Summary

Emil Bove, Trump’s acting deputy attorney general, once led efforts to investigate Jan. 6 rioters in New York but now oversees Trump’s push to expose and punish those involved in the prosecutions.

Critics accuse Bove of rewriting history, damaging DOJ credibility, and threatening the careers of law enforcement officials who followed legal procedures.
