Trump says he'll announce new pick for DC top prosecutor as controversial Ed Martin nomination falters | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump said Thursday he will soon announce a new nominee for US attorney in Washington, DC, replacing Ed Martin, whose nomination had been imperiled in recent days amid what appeared to be insurmountable pushback from Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Ed Martin, a former Missouri Republican Party chairman and current member of Donald Trump's legal team, has been appointed as a special prosecutor in Washington, D.C., to investigate allegations of prosecutorial misconduct in cases related to the former president. Martin's appointment comes amid claims by Trump and his allies that the Justice Department and local prosecutors have unfairly targeted him. Martin, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump, will have the authority to review and potentially challenge ongoing investigations and prosecutions involving Trump in the nation's capital. His appointment has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it represents a conflict of interest and an attempt to undermine legitimate legal proceedings against the former president.
