When asked whether Martin still served in the role, a Justice Department spokesman told NBC News that he continued on in a separate role, as pardon attorney.
Trump loyalist Ed Martin is out as leader of the Justice Department’s “weaponization” effort that is investigating prosecutors who launched past probes into President Donald Trump and his allies, two people familiar with the discussions tell NBC News.
When asked whether Martin still served in the role, a Justice Department spokesman told NBC News that Martin continued to serve in a separate role, as pardon attorney.
“President Trump appointed Ed Martin as Pardon Attorney and Ed continues to do a great job in that role,” according to the spokesman.
Martin had been serving as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, but the longtime right-wing activist faced opposition from Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., a key member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Instead, Trump made Martin the pardon attorney and director of the “weaponization working group” established by Attorney General Pam Bondi in response to one of the president’s executive orders. Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was eventually named U.S. attorney for D.C.
The working group is seeking to examine work including that of former special counsel Jack Smith; any federal cooperation with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted Trump’s hush money case; the Justice Department’s handling of cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack; and criminal prosecutions of anti-abortion activists, among other issues.
An advocate for those arrested following the riot at the Capitol, Martin previously said he planned to “name” and “shame” individuals the department could not formally charge with crimes, a major departure from long-standing Justice Department policy.

Did Ed ever at least name and shame anyone?
Possibly. He has an odor of mechanical grease and is a short guy, hungry.
But imho this is Never Broadcasting (ConCast- cable etc.) which are spin doctors for the enemy still within the DOJ. Dug in like big fat tics. Target is Martin.... and NBC works with the outgoing scum who caused this... Sen. Thom Tillis the Senator from TOBACCO (NC) no party affiliation (except scum demonrat).
He tried. Blanche blocked him.
Lessee now...
“Blanche is a Republican, having switched from Democratic registration in 2024 after moving to Florida”
Real Trump guy. Switched parties just in time to catch the wave.
Wonder if Martin will be taking the majority of the heat away from Bondi now? The media & the RATS are looking for the weak link in the Admin.
I hear Ed and Bongino are going to join forces and open the Blind Eye Detective Agency
Funny. Their persecution of Trump wasn’t weaponization, oh no. Just when he does it back.
I suspect your opinion of Blanche is based on poorly sourced stories from the mainstream media like this one. I’m not convinced..
