Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff announced that he is placing an indefinite hold on President Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C.
President Trump had nominated Ed Martin, the current Acting U.S. Attorney for D.C., for the permanent role as top federal prosecutor in our nation’s capital.
Schiff claims that Ed Martin, who is currently leading a large-scale investigation into threats against DOGE employees, has “abused” his power.
Here’s Adam Schiff’s full announcement on X:
BREAKING: I’m placing a hold on President Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC.
For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech.
His nomination must be blocked.
