The acting top federal prosecutor in Washington under President Donald Trump is furious about recent leaks to the press and also specifically directed staff to scrutinize a former official’s work on January 6 cases after she rebuked him on TV, according to internal emails obtained by CNN.
Ed Martin, the interim US attorney for DC, sent an email Tuesday to his entire office, complaining that someone leaked an email he sent Monday. In the Monday email, he launched an internal review of how prosecutors handled some January 6, 2021, cases where the Supreme Court concluded that prosecutors overstepped with charging decisions.
In the Tuesday email blast, Martin said: “Wow, what a disappointment to have my email yesterday to you all was leaked almost immediately. Again, personally insulting and professionally unacceptable. I guess I have learned my lesson (‘Fool me once…’).”
The latest missive from Martin highlights his turbulent first week, as he aggressively tries to impose Trump’s agenda at the Justice Department, while facing pushback both internally from career prosecutors and others who quit and then bashed his actions.
