WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s judicial nominee Emil Bove on Tuesday refused to say that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, claiming it would be “political” to do so. During his nomination hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Bove was asked point blank by Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) who won the 2020 election. “President Biden was certified as the winner of that election,” said Bove, 44, who is up for a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.

Lee posted several tweets from his personal account on Saturday, baselessly claiming that the man who went to the homes of four Minnesota state lawmakers with the intent to kill them has ties to the political left.
