A federal prosecutor in Washington has contacted The New England Journal of Medicine, considered the world’s most prestigious medical journal, with questions that suggested without evidence that it was biased against certain views and influenced by external pressures.

At least three other journals have received similar letters from Edward Martin Jr., a Republican activist serving as interim U.S. attorney in Washington. Mr. Martin has been criticized for using his office to target opponents of the administration.His letters...

Ed Martin, the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a message to staff on Friday that he's "expanded" the scope of his investigation into the office's handling of cases stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol -- and likened them to the government's internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, according to an email obtained by ABC News. Martin, whose nomination is still pending confirmation by the Senate, has dubbed his investigation the "1512 Project," referring to the felony obstruction charge used against hundreds of Capitol attack defendants that was later narrowed by...

Reuters reported on Friday that interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin is transferring numerous Biden DOJ prosecutors to pursue misdemeanor offenses in the DC Superior Court.

"Those demoted include John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, who prosecuted contempt of Congress cases that sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for four months apiece. They include...

President Donald Trump has begun the process to investigate the Biden DOJ’s injustices against Jan. 6 protestors. The DOJ launched a “special project” to probe Biden-era prosecutors’ decisions to stretch an obstruction statute to prosecute hundreds of individuals who protested the certification of the 2020 presidential election inside the U.S. Capitol. Ed Martin, the acting U.S. district attorney for the District of Columbia, announced the investigation in a memo to two prosecutors who led these charges.

A new report is raising questions about who put a gallows on the National Mall for the Jan. 6, 2021, election protests, an image that has been used by Democrats to smear supporters of former President Donald Trump. Lawyer Ed Martin, who has helped over 100 riot suspects fight their cases, has reviewed hours of video and believes that the structure from which a noose was hung was planted by anti-Trump operatives, not the election protesters. Martin, well known in conservative circles as president of the Phyllis Schlafly Eagles and for his Pro America Report radio show, said the video...

RINOs, or “Republicans In Name Only,” have been a cancer on the Republican Party for decades. Conservatives have had to spend far too much of their time fighting against the fake Republicans who infiltrate leadership positions, leaving little time for the fight against our more transparent adversaries. Donald Trump has devised the best way to deal with them once and for all. His plan is simple: “No more money for RINOs.” He explained, “They do nothing but hurt the Republican Party and our great voting base—they will never lead us to Greatness.” Trump is absolutely right to expose the parasites...

Detention in a federal prison in Jesup, GA, amounts to a “virtual death sentence,” said Roger Stone on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday with special guest host Ed Martin, referencing his age and health. “I’m looking at a virtual death sentence in two weeks,” declared Stone, of his prison sentence scheduled to begin on July 14. “Wayne County has five hundred employees who work in the correctional facility. The infection rate in Wayne County today is 25 percent of the the population and growing.” Stone continued, “There’s no use of masks or gloves in [Federal Correctional Institution, Jesup]. There is no...

On National Public Radio on Saturday morning, Weekend Edition anchor Scott Simon interviewed Ed Martin, a pro-Trump author and Republican Party man, reveling in the Donald Trump-Steve Bannon feud. Martin said “I'm trying not to be on a side - it's like Mom and Dad had a little bit of a disagreement. I prefer to think that it's going to settle down and they're all in the family here, you know.” So Simon suggested Trump might be a lunatic: SCOTT SIMON: But disagreement - Steve Bannon is quoted as saying -- and to my knowledge this statement has not been...

It is going to be tough for Donald Trump‘s detractors to argue that he isn’t a conservative now. Conservative author, activist and icon Phyllis Schlafly today in St. Louis gave her endorsement to Trump for president. “I asked him to stand by the Republican platform because we have the best conservative platform we’ve ever had and he endorses it. He will stand by it. He is a real conservative and I ask you to support him,” she said to a raucous ovation. “I’m confident that Donald Trump will appoint judges like (Antonin) Scalia,” she added. Schlafly said that “we’ve been...

What a great way to start the week! During a debate with Republican Candidate, Ed Martin, Russ Carnahan (Democrat) gives a literally laughable defense of social security saying, “The Social Security system has been stable for more than 75 years and has one of the most efficient ratings in terms of any agency…” The crowd erupted in disbelieving laughter drowning out the rest of his sentence.

Ed Martin, who made his name in Missouri as the Energizer Bunny chief of staff for Gov. Matt Blunt, said today he's considering a run for Congress next year. His opponent would be Democratic incumbent Russ Carnahan of St. Louis. Martin, who resigned as chief of staff in 2007 after months of controvery over the firing of a staff lawyer, Scott Eckersley, sounds serious. He's formed an exploratory committee that will let him start raising money. "The people of the 3rd District are a critical economic engine for America,” said Martin. “These workers and families want leaders who will stand...
