New D C top prosecutor led Jan 6 rioters defense
Ed Martin, longtime Trump ally, became interim U S attorney for the District of Columbia. He backed Trump election claims, praised pardons for officers, and ordered an internal review of felony charges against hundreds of Capitol rioters as he reshapes the office to align with the president's priorities. The move signals a broader purge and loyalty shift within the DOJ in Washington.
