Since being installed at the Justice Department, he has emerged as one of the most powerful officials in the country and the main enforcer of Mr. Trump\u2019s demands for retribution and unimpeded control of federal law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That Mr. Bove, 44, has quashed dissent at the Southern District is an indication of its outsize importance as a symbol of prosecutorial independence \u2014 and its enduring role in Mr. Trump\u2019s own long, tortured relationship with the department since his first term. But his forceful tack is also a measure of his own fraught relationship with an office that provided him with the know-how and confidence to now challenge its power and autonomy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Interviews with more than two dozen former colleagues, current department officials and others, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, reveal new details about Mr. Bove\u2019s nine years at the Southern District, a turbulent period that defined his career and foreshadowed his current effort to bend the Justice Department to the Trump agenda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jessica A. Roth, a former Southern District prosecutor, said Mr. Bove\u2019s bellicose approach to overriding the judgment of his former office appeared to be an effort to undermine its historical independence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s this sense of \u2018It\u2019s my way or the highway\u2019 and no tolerance for disagreement, even when respectfully presented,\u201d said Ms. Roth, who now teaches at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York. \u201cThe notion that disagreement is insubordination is highly distressing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ellen Blain, a former assistant U.S. attorney who worked in the office during Mr. Bove\u2019s tenure, said these actions represented a dangerous new paradigm, forcing career prosecutors \u201cto use the power of the Justice Department to instill fear in the president\u2019s enemies and bestow favors on his friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokesman for Mr. Bove had no comment. Harrison Fields, a White House spokesman, accused Mr. Bove\u2019s former colleagues of \u201cleaking sensitive investigative information, mixed with lies,\u201d to the news media. Seeking to invert the criticism of the administration, he called it \u201can unacceptable weaponization of the criminal justice system.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5b699625\">A Steady Rise<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove began his climb on the low rung of one of the highest-powered U.S. attorney\u2019s offices in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After graduating from the State University of New York at Albany in 2003, he applied for a job as a paralegal in the Southern District, knowing it was the center of the action. To his surprise, he was offered a slot in the securities unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He left in 2005 to attend Georgetown University\u2019s law school, after making a strong impression, but was always intent on returning. After two federal clerkships and a stint in a white-shoe law firm, he was hired in 2012 by the Obama-appointed U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Preet Bharara, as a prosecutor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove would play a significant role in many major investigations over the years, both as a line attorney and supervisor, overseeing the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sdny\/pr\/manhattan-us-attorney-announces-narco-terrorism-charges-against-nicolas-maduro-current\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">indictment<\/a> of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro of Venezuela on drug-trafficking charges and the conviction of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/08\/05\/nyregion\/cesar-sayoc-sentencing-pipe-bombing.html?searchResultPosition=1\" title=\"\">Cesar Sayoc<\/a>, who was charged with sending pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and other Trump critics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove racked up convictions at trial and in guilty pleas, as in one case of a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archives\/opa\/pr\/hizballah-operative-sentenced-40-years-prison-covert-terrorist-activities-behalf-hizballah-s\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hezbollah operative<\/a> and another with an F.B.I. employee <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sdny\/pr\/former-fbi-employee-sentenced-manhattan-federal-court-24-months-prison-acting-agent\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">accused of being an agent for China<\/a>. A high point, former colleagues said, was the successful prosecution and trial of the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/02\/13\/nyregion\/bomber-chelsea-manhattan.html\" title=\"\">man who detonated a pressure-cooker bomb<\/a> in Manhattan and was sentenced to two life terms in prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He took particular pride in his work on terrorism cases, and kept a capped pipe bomb from one of his cases on his desk as a memento, according to people who visited his office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Veterans of the Southern District like to say they take the work seriously but not themselves. Particularly among the younger lawyers, there is a lot of joking and pranking, and roasts are held when prosecutors leave the office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove did not quite fit into that mold, former colleagues say. He could be friendly, had a dark sense of humor and bonded with colleagues who shared his enthusiasm for running and working out. But he had a hard edge and could be awkward or short with people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He was intensely proud of his work in the Southern District, and approached the job with the same intensity he had exhibited as a standout lacrosse player in college.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then came an episode that appeared to color his view of the office from that point forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2016, during a corruption investigation into Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s 2013 campaign fund-raising, an F.B.I. agent surprised Mr. Bove\u2019s wife, a policy adviser to the mayor, with a request that she turn over records of her communications, according to people with knowledge of the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">(There was no allegation of wrongdoing by Mr. Bove\u2019s wife, and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sdny\/pr\/acting-us-attorney-joon-h-kim-statement-investigation-city-hall-fundraising\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. de Blasio was never charged<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove believed that approach, while not technically improper, was too aggressive and needlessly traumatized his family. He made it clear that he had only wanted a heads-up and would never have tipped off his wife beforehand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His superiors countered by saying that alerting him could have potentially compromised a sensitive political investigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His reaction was instant and emotional. He briefly considered quitting, and was so upset that he took several days off to clear his head. That did not sit well with some of his colleagues who believed he had overreacted, those people said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If his aggressiveness fueled his success inside the office, it also caused problems and Mr. Bove was advised to take steps to tone down his behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By all accounts, he succeeded, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sdny\/pr\/chairman-and-ceo-sham-oil-and-gas-company-sentenced-12-years-prison-international-fraud\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">working on a criminal case<\/a> alongside Nicolas Roos and Danielle R. Sassoon, who this month <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/13\/nyregion\/danielle-sassoon-quit-eric-adams.html\" title=\"\">resigned as interim U.S. attorney<\/a> at the Southern District rather than sign off on Mr. Bove\u2019s order to dismiss the Adams case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the time, both prosecutors praised Mr. Bove\u2019s contributions, according to people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But in March 2018, David E. Patton, then the head of the federal public defenders\u2019 office in New York, which represents thousands of indigent defendants in the city, emailed Mr. Bove\u2019s supervisors to relay complaints from defense lawyers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the message, obtained by The New York Times, one lawyer described Mr. Bove as vindictive, someone who abused his power and was \u201cimpossible to deal with.\u201d Another lawyer called Mr. Bove \u201ccompletely reckless and out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One public defender in Mr. Patton\u2019s office cast Mr. Bove as purely adversarial, and prone to defining justice however he saw fit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Patton did not ask Mr. Bove\u2019s superiors for any specific disciplinary action, but wrote, \u201cI fear there will be many future problems.\u201d Mr. Patton did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The complaint appeared to have stalled Mr. Bove\u2019s ascent, delaying his promotion to help run the office\u2019s critical unit that investigates terrorism and international narcotics trafficking cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5de1f142\">Pursuing Jan. 6<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mr. Bove sought to address those issues, and by October 2019 his standing improved to the point that he was promoted to co-chief of the terrorism unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tommy Cindric, a former. agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration who worked closely with Mr. Bove, said: \u201cEmil is a bulldog. I think he\u2019s an aggressive, smart, obsessive prosecutor. For me, he has a moral compass \u2014 and that compass has always been true north.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During the more than two years that he helped lead the unit, Mr. Bove would oversee some of his most important terrorism and drug cases. But his curt, at times browbeating, management style resurfaced, alienating some subordinates, according to former colleagues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was his supervision of another high-profile international prosecution that undermined his position in the office beyond repair \u2014 yet also paved his remarkable path to Mr. Trump and a far more commanding role in federal law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2020, defense lawyers accused prosecutors working under Mr. Bove\u2019s supervision of seeking to hide exculpatory evidence in a case against an Iranian banker, Ali Sadr Hashemi Nejad, who was convicted that March of seeking to evade U.S. sanctions on the Islamic Republic. That July, the judge vacated the conviction and dismissed the indictment after the government acknowledged that there were problems in the way evidence had been turned over to the defense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In September, the judge issued an opinion <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/09\/16\/nyregion\/manhattan-us-attorney-evidence-bury.html\" title=\"\">excoriating the Southern District<\/a> for its handling of the case and criticized the office\u2019s leaders for failing to \u201cunequivocally condemn these prosecutors\u2019 improper actions and communications.\u201d In one instance, a prosecutor had suggested to a colleague that they \u201cbury\u201d a document in the trove of records sent to the defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The judge ultimately concluded that while government errors and ethical lapses in the case were \u201cpervasive,\u201d she did not find that \u201cprosecutors intentionally withheld documents from the defense or intentionally misled the court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was a major embarrassment to the office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Around the same time, the Southern District\u2019s leaders had decided to demote Mr. Bove after an internal investigation prompted by complaints about his management style that had caused morale in his unit to plummet, according to three people familiar with the matter. But they kept him in place until the Sadr matter had been resolved, to avoid the appearance that anyone, including Mr. Bove, had done anything intentionally wrong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the middle of all this came a convulsive shock, the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove, who in his new role at the Justice Department pressured the F.B.I.\u2019s interim leaders to turn over the names of personnel involved in the Jan. 6 investigations, has not publicly acknowledged any role in enforcement efforts after the riot. Yet he was not only involved; he was an unapologetic participant, according to people who worked with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove watched the events unfold from his office in Lower Manhattan, and repeatedly expressed determination to help federal prosecutors in Washington in any way he could, according to a former senior department official who worked directly with him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While the Southern District could play only a limited role, Mr. Bove worked with the New York Joint Terrorism Task Force, never expressed reservations about the investigation, and half-jokingly told a member of his team to come back with an indictment of a rioter or not bother to return to the office, the person said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-eca1210\">A Potential Conflict<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By the end of 2021, Mr. Bove moved on, joining a small but well-regarded firm in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even there he could not escape the gravitational pull of his former office. In the summer of 2023, when Mr. Bove began to represent a woman who had been charged by the Southern District with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sdny\/pr\/yvette-wang-pleads-guilty-over-1-billion-fraud-conspiracy\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">committing extensive fraud,<\/a> prosecutors asked that he be disqualified from the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove, they wrote, \u201cmay be in possession of information he learned\u201d when he worked in the Southern District. \u201cThis dynamic creates a conflict of interest given that Bove cannot give his clients his undivided loyalty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He pushed back, arguing that his representation of the woman was consistent with legal ethics and that she could waive any potential conflict. Ultimately, she chose not to enter a waiver and he withdrew from the case, angering him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-13\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In September 2023, Mr. Bove joined a law firm run by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/04\/nyregion\/todd-blanche-hush-money-case.html\" title=\"\">Todd Blanche<\/a>, who had also begun his career as a paralegal in the Southern District and was then leading Mr. Trump\u2019s criminal defense. Mr. Bove was quickly added to the Trump defense team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He took on an expansive role, a hard-driving counterpart to the more laid-back Mr. Blanche, willing to make overtly political arguments in court, to the occasional annoyance of judges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/29\/us\/politics\/trump-documents-judge-aileen-cannon.html\" title=\"\">At one hearing<\/a>, Judge Aileen M. Cannon, the Trump appointee who presided over the case involving Mr. Trump\u2019s retention of classified documents after his first term, offered a verbal eye-roll when Mr. Bove griped that it was interfering with Mr. Trump\u2019s need to hit the campaign trail. The argument echoed his rationale for dropping the Adams case ahead of the 2025 mayoral election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCan we talk about the actual legal issues?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-14\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mr. Trump liked his toughness. During his Manhattan criminal trial in 2024, which stemmed from a hush money payment investigated earlier by the Southern District, Mr. Trump rarely belittled Mr. Bove the way he did his other lawyers during sometimes explosive sessions in a holding room, perhaps because he was second in command to Mr. Blanche, people familiar with the situation said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-15\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The kinship appears to run deeper. Mr. Bove has shown he shares Mr. Trump\u2019s maximalist approach to conflict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He slammed Ms. Sassoon, a respected prosecutor who is a member of the conservative Federalist Society, for \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/13\/nyregion\/danielle-sassoon-quit-eric-adams.html\" title=\"\">insubordination and apparent misconduct<\/a> reflected in the approach that you and your office have taken in this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He went even further in accusing the Biden-appointed former U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Damian Williams, of opening the Adams investigation to promote his own political career. He offered no evidence to support the claim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bove\u2019s rebuke of the office, and in particular Ms. Sassoon, surprised former colleagues who had been encouraged by his more measured attitude shift a few years earlier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In fact, the email from the federal public defenders\u2019 office outlining complaints about his conduct had cut so deeply that he displayed a copy of it in his office, telling colleagues it served as a pointed, corrective reminder of his past behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Reporting was contributed by <!-- -->William K.
