A group of former Jan. 6 prosecutors and Republican attorneys urged the federal appeals court in Washington to probe President Trump’s pick for U.S. attorney in D.C.
The issue, in their eyes, is that Ed Martin is reviewing his office’s handling of Jan. 6 prosecutions, suggesting he is using his position as interim U.S. attorney to probe Mr. Trump’s political rivals.
In a letter sent Monday to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel at the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, the Republican attorneys and former Jan. 6 prosecutors through the Society for the Rule of Law organization urged an ethics investigation into Mr. Martin.
