Martin, known for defending January 6 participants, has been interim U.S. Attorney since Trump’s inauguration.
President Trump announced Edward Martin Jr. as his pick for the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C.
This powerful position comes at a crucial time, especially following the January 6 riots. Martin’s nomination solidifies Trump’s commitment to restoring law and order and countering crime in the nation’s capital.
Martin has actively supported and defended the participants of the January 6 Capitol events.
For weeks, Martin served as Interim U.S. Attorney, demonstrating a commitment to President Trump’s agenda.
Among Martin’s controversial actions was the firing of assistant U.S. attorneys involved in prosecuting January 6 defendants.
His actions aligned with the efforts to pardon or commute sentences for participants in the Capitol protest.
During his term as Interim U.S. Attorney, Martin dealt with opposition while fighting to reshape the legal landscape surrounding the January 6 events.
“Since Inauguration Day, Ed has been doing a great job as Interim U.S. Attorney, fighting tirelessly to restore Law and Order, and make our Nation’s Capital Safe and Beautiful Again. He will get the job done,” said President Trump.
Martin has even ordered a review into the use of felony charges against Capitol rioters.
Though Martin lacks experience as a prosecutor or federal judge, his extensive political career and legal background are evident.

Previously, he led the Missouri Republican Party and was active in combating government inefficiency.
Martin even co-authored “The Conservative Case for Trump” with Phyllis Schlafly, emphasizing his dedication to conservative values.
While some express concerns over Martin’s political motives, others believe he will prioritize public safety and accountability.
Lawyer Mike Davis praised Martin, stating he “will bring much-needed accountability and refocus the office on DC violent street crimes — making DC safe again for all Americans.”
Martin’s nomination awaits confirmation by the U.S. Senate, which will determine whether he can carry on Trump’s legacy of upholding American values and law and order in D.C.
As Martin looks to replace Matthew Graves, who faced criticism for crime rates and handling of Hunter Biden’s case, Trump’s supporters remain hopeful.
They trust that Martin’s nomination will restore justice and the rule of law.
The Capitol’s new top prosecutor acknowledges Americans’ concerns about rising crime and promises swift action.
