Ed Martin's interim appointment as U.S. Attorney expires on May 20, 2023, unless confirmed by the Senate. If not confirmed by this deadline, a new interim U.S. Attorney will be selected by the U.S. District Court of Washington. Tension regarding his confirmation is rising, as his name was absent from the Judiciary Committee's agenda, suggesting concerns about support for his nomination. Senators John Cornyn and Eric Schmitt express their support, but acknowledge uncertainty surrounding Martin's confirmation status, emphasizing the need for Republican unity to secure his position.
"I want to put people on the agenda that I can help the president be successful in his nominees and that's all I can say at this point," Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley said.
"When he comes up for a vote, I intend to support him," Texas Senator John Cornyn stated, highlighting his intent to back Martin despite initial hesitance.
