D.C.’s Acting AG to Investigate Prosecutors Who Charged Jan. 6 Rioters with Obstruction

HeadlineJan 28, 2025

Ed Martin, the interim, Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., launched an investigation into prosecutors who brought obstruction charges against some 250 January 6 Capitol rioters. Those charges ended up being tossed after a Supreme Court ruling last year. Martin helped lead the “Stop the Steal” effort four years ago.

In related news, the Justice Department has removed a database from its website which detailed crimes and convictions from the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
