Cheung wrote in her resignation letter that while she and the FBI were ready to ask a bank to freeze the assets immediately, she refused a last-minute order from interim U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. to open what she called an unfounded investigation sought by the office of acting Deputy Attorney General Emil S. Bove, according to a resignation letter obtained by The Washington Post.
The US Attorney in DC is Ed Martin. A perfect example of the kind of piece of shit trump has assigned to work in the DoJ.
WASHINGTON ā President Donald Trump has nominated the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia ā a "Stop the Steal" organizer who advocated for Jan. 6 defendants ā to be the district's top prosecutor on a permanent basis.
Trump made the announcement less than three days after the nominee, Ed Martin, posted that he would be investigating Jack Smith and a law firm that gave the former special counsel pro bono legal services.
Referring to Martin as "highly respected," Trump wrote on X that Martin "has been doing a great job as Interim U.S. Attorney, fighting tirelessly to restore Law and Order, and make our Nationās Capital Safe and Beautiful Again."
Martin called on ādie-hard true Americansā to work until their ālast breathā to āstop the stealā in a speech at the U.S. Capitol on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. He was subpoenaed by the House Jan. 6 committee and was on the board of an organization that supported Jan. 6 defendants, and he was a defense attorney for three Capitol attack defendants. As interim U.S. attorney, he launched an investigation into the office's handing of Jan. 6 cases and fired some assistant U.S. attorneys who worked such cases.
