Woman spits on failed Trump nominee Ed Martin during TV interview

  • During a live interview on May 8, 2025, Ed Martin, acting U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., was spat on by a woman outside a courthouse.
  • The incident followed President Trump’s withdrawal of Martin’s nomination for the permanent D.C. U.S. Attorney position due to opposition over his past defense of January 6 rioters.
  • The woman, walking a dog, approached Martin during the interview, shouted “You are Ed Martin,” spat at him, called him “a disgusting man,” and then walked away.
  • Marshals identified the woman, issued an arrest warrant, and officials noted that targeting a federal official could lead to severe charges including assault.
  • Following the incident and nomination withdrawal, Trump named Jeanine Pirro as interim D.C. U.S. Attorney and offered Martin a Department of Justice post investigating alleged government weaponization.
