US EditionTrump says he’s pulling nomination of Ed Martin for top D.C. federal prosecutor
- President Donald Trump withdrew Ed Martin Jr.'s nomination for U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., on Thursday, May 8, 2025.
- Trump's decision followed bipartisan concerns over Martin's limited legal experience, divisive politics, and defense of January 6 Capitol rioters.
- Martin, a longtime conservative activist who never worked as a prosecutor before his January interim appointment, faced opposition including from Senator Thom Tillis and over 100 former prosecutors.
- In the Oval Office, Trump expressed disappointment over the withdrawal but said he expected to nominate another candidate soon who would do a great job, adding, "that’s the way it works sometime."
- Martin’s acting appointment is set to end on May 20, and Jeanine Pirro, a former prosecutor and television personality on Fox News, is being considered as a temporary successor.
