Summary

D.C.'s interim U.S. Attorney Edward Martin is under congressional investigation over allegations that he used his position to target critics of Trump.

Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA) sent a letter raising concerns over Martin’s social media comments and his reported focus on investigating Democrats, journalists, and those supporting January 6 defendants.

Connolly accuses Martin of politicizing the office, violating First Amendment protections, and following Trump’s agenda.

The investigation seeks documents to assess whether Martin’s actions undermine DOJ policies and constitutional protections.

    The guy has sounded like a Trump tool since he got the job and has done nothing to dissuade anyone from that belief.
