A group of former prosecutors are pushing to block the judicial nomination of Emil Bove, a former Trump attorney who they accused of being a "hatchet man," according to memos obtained by CBS News.

Famed skydiver and BASE jumper Felix Baumgartner dies at 56 Baumgartner achieved international recognition in 2012 when he performed a jump from 24 miles above the Earth, higher than anyone before him. He died on Thursday in a paragliding accident.

Officials from as far back as the Kennedy administration through the current Trump administration signed a letter opposing Bove's nomination.

Judge Michael Luttig, a critic of Trump who sought to disqualify the 47th president, is leading a charge to torpedo Bove’s bid.

Emil Bove declined to rule out the possibility of a third Trump term and did not denounce the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in a questionnaire submitted to a Senate panel.
