WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Democrats on Thursday released internal Justice Department text messages and emails to corroborate claims by a whistleblower who alleged that President Donald Trump's judicial nominee Emil Bove suggested that department lawyers could defy court orders to carry out mass deportations.
Bove, the Justice Department's Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General who was nominated to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, denied the allegations during his confirmation hearing last month, telling lawmakers: "I am not anybody's henchman."
