Senator Adam Schiff has placed a hold on the nomination of Ed Martin as the acting US Attorney for DC, citing severe concerns over Martin's actions and conduct in office. Schiff accused Martin of undermining the independence of the U.S. Attorney's office by engaging in intimidation tactics, dismissing charges against his clients, and abusing his authority to chill free speech. Martin’s controversial actions include plans to withhold police misconduct reports from the courts and targeting public defenders, raising significant legal and ethical concerns regarding his qualifications and motives.
For the past nine weeks, Ed Martin has consistently undermined the independence and abused the power of the U.S. Attorney's office in DC - openly threatening and intimidating political opponents.
Martin, a former 'Stop the Steal' protester who never prosecuted a case before being tapped to lead, keeps inventing new ways to be bad at his job.
