💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump withdrew the nomination of conservative activist Ed Martin Jr. for the top federal prosecutor role in Washington, D.C., after a key Republican senator opposed him due to his support for Jan. 6 rioters. Martin had served as acting U.S. Attorney since Trump's first week in office but faced criticism for firing subordinates involved in politically sensitive cases, posting about potential investigation targets on social media, and forcing the resignation of the criminal division chief.
