A *#conservative* activist who has been on the board of a group supporting #Jan6 defendants has been named interim #USAttorney for Washington, #DC, the position that has overseen the hundreds of cases brought in the Capitol siege investigation.
#EdMartin will be the interim chief, #Trump #DOJ official Chad Gilmartin told NBCNews.
#EdMartin was a prominent member of the "Stop the Steal" movement. In a speech at the Capitol on Jan 5, 2021, he called on "die-hard true Americans" to work until their "last breath" to "stop the steal."
On #Jan6, Martin tweeted that he was "at the Capitol" & said the crowd was rowdy "but nothing out of hand," & he then tweeted, “Like Mardi Gras in DC today: love, faith and joy.”
At the time of #EdMartin's tweet, rioters had breached the building & Ashli Babbitt had been shot; on the other side of the Capitol, a #Jan6 rioter would soon drive a stun gun into an officer's neck during the brutal battle at the lower west tunnel.
Martin was on the board of the Patriot Freedom Project, which advocated for #J6 defendants & held fundraisers at #Trump's properties, including events where Trump spoke.
