The top federal prosecutor in Washington, recently appointed by President Donald Trump, has expressed frustration over recent leaks to the press. Internal emails obtained reveal that Ed Martin, the interim US attorney for DC, directed his staff to scrutinize a former official's work on January 6 cases after she criticized him on TV.
In an email sent to his entire office, Martin complained about a leaked email where he initiated an internal review of how prosecutors handled certain January 6 cases. The Supreme Court had previously determined that prosecutors had overstepped with charging decisions in these cases.
