A week before the vote of an expected committee on the controversial nomination of Trump Emil Bowe for a federal judge, CBS News has received emails and text messages shared with the Congress by a whistleblower. Accuses of immoral acts While he was an officer of a top justice department this year.
The messages were issued by the Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats on Thursday morning, who are trying to defeat Bowe’s nomination for judicial appointment for the third circuit US court of appeals. Lessons and email messages allegedly provide new insights into administration feedback Kilmar Abrego Garcia from Maryland to Al Salvador on 15 March for his wrong exile.
The whistleblower is the Attorney Arez Reveveney of the East Justice Department, which was fired on April 11, after more than 14 years in the agency, when the leadership of the department accused him of presenting an inadequate argument by the Trump administration during the proceedings of Ebrego Garcia.
Last month, Reveni released a public statement opposing Bowe’s nomination, one of the former criminal defense lawyers of Mr. Trump.
Texts and email messages, which were obtained by the Democratic Leadership on the Senate Judiciary Committee, showed that Reveni failed to fail his colleagues and other federal agencies to assist in fulfilling the order of a court that Abrego Garcia was returned to the US in March. Dozens of email messages also reveal the efforts of the Trump administration officials to labeled Abrego Garcia a gang leader, which has strongly denied the lawyers of Abrego Garcia-and reduced the agency’s mistake in removing them L Salvador.
Some email exchanges that had a recipient during the week of 27 March included questions about the limit of membership of Ebrego Garcia or the limit of MS -13 and inquired about whether the US requested that Al Salvador could return to Abrego Garcia.
Reuveni’s messages also warns about the legal crisis of ignoring court orders. One of the batch messages allegedly showed that a homeland security officer gave the alleged MS -13 membership of Ebrego Garcia to a separate MS -13 membership with membership in a separate gang in Venezuela.
Some recitation messages from Reveveney included the exchanges and an associates of the Department of Justice by Reveveney, which referred to the alleged instructions from Bov, which was to communicate “F *** U” for a court order that Ebrego Garcia and others were returned to American custody after the March 15’s exclusion flights from L Salavador.
A reference to guidance, alleged “F *** AAP”, is included in the reference to such exchanges among the officials of the Trump administration, including officials of the justice department, from the night of the 15 March court order to return the exile flights.
Messages are emerging two weeks after Revennei filed Whistleblower complaint Alleging that he was threatened, fired and publicly disliked “after questioning Bov and other officials questioning the instructions to ignore the court orders.
The Department of Justice denied claims at that time. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanches Called allegations “Completely wrong,” Revenney referred to as “former employee dissatisfied” and said, “No one should be followed by the court order at any time.”
After the Trump administration sent a jail to a prison in Al Salvador, Renveni first attracted attention after the 2019 court order collapsed, stopping him from being sent to the Central American country.
After mid -march, Reven accepted For the federal judge of a Maryland that Abrego Garcia was accidentally deported and “it should not have been removed.” When the judge pressured for the details of why the government could not blow up Abrego Garcia, Reveni said that he “asked the same question” and did not get the answer.
Reuveni was quickly on leave, with Attorney General Palm Bondi Suggest He “failed to advocate enthusiastically from the United States.” Six days later, Revenee says he was fired.
Months after a judge ordered his return, Abrego Garcia finally returned to the US in June. He is now waiting for the trial for allegations of criminal smuggling, and has requested not to be guilty.
The top Democrat Sen Dick Durbin of the judiciary committee said that he asked for text messages and emails. Darbin said, “The senators raised these allegations at the Judicial Nomination Hearing of Emil Bowe, and they only offered carefully words. Therefore, I asked Mr. Reuveni to document his claims to further certify their claims.”
“Text messages, email exchange, and documents suggest that the Department of Justice misled a federal court and disregarded a court order. Mr. Boway promoted the effort, demanding the lawyers to violate the candor’s own moral duty in the court,” Durbin said.
The White House did not immediately respond to the remarks requests.
Last month, in hearing his Senate confirmation, Bowe denied allegations of Reuvene of any immoral conduct.
“I have ever advised the Attorney of the Department of Justice to violate the court order,” Bov told the Senate Judicry Committee. He said, “I don’t think there is any validity of the suggestion that the complaint of the whistleblower was filed yesterday, which questions my merit to serve as a circuit judge.”
According to two Congress sources, the committee is expected to hear Bov’s confirmation on Thursday.
