Trump Says Loyalist Ed Martin to Leave DOJ to Focus on Election Related Battles Ed Martin, a self proclaimed loyalist of former President Trump, is leaving his position at the Department of Justice (DOJ) amid concerns about politicization and the integrity of election related matters.
As interim U. S. attorney for Washington, D. C. , Martin's tenure was marked by controversy, including his handling of the Capitol riot investigation.
Martin's appointment sparked skepticism due to his lack of prosecutorial experience, and his decision to fire prosecutors and demote others raised concerns about politicization within the DOJ.
