Martin, a Trump appointee, has stumbled into an incredible amount of power; he decides whether to prosecute any federal crime charged in the nation's capital. And he has already been busy—firing some 30 prosecutors who worked on the Jan. 6 cases, investigating Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and helping the Oath Keepers return to Washington.
