US EditionTrump’s pick for top prosecutor in DC is testing Republican loyalty
- Ed Martin, nominated by President Trump to permanently serve as U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., faces an uncertain confirmation as of May 2025.
- Martin's nomination stalled due to controversies including his defense of January 6 rioters, past praise of a Nazi sympathizer, and accusations of dishonesty in Senate written responses.
- Senators, including Judiciary Committee ranking member Dick Durbin, criticized Martin for providing false statements and evading over 80 questions related to January 6 in his sworn written responses.
- Republican senators remain divided, with Josh Hawley strongly supporting Martin but others like Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski expressing serious reservations without outright opposition.
- If Martin is not confirmed by his May 20 term expiration, a federal court will appoint an interim replacement, while his stalled nomination highlights GOP challenges in backing Trump's controversial pick.
