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.
