President Trump’s acting U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., has demoted at least eight senior federal prosecutors who worked on January 6 Capitol insurrection cases. Ed Martin, who has backed Trump’s lies about the 2020 election, reportedly moved some prosecutors to entry-level jobs and compounded internal turmoil at the Justice Department. Last month, Ed Martin declared he and other federal attorneys are “Trump’s lawyers” — in direct contradiction to his oath of office to be an independent, Constitution-abiding officer.
