Trump Loyalist Attorney Will Open Probe Into Alleged Jan. 6 Leaks: Report
HuffPost
Ed Martin spoke at a “Stop the Steal” rally on the eve of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin — who spoke at the “Stop the Steal” rally on the eve of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and served as a defense lawyer for multiple Jan. 6 defendants — reportedly announced Friday that he is opening a probe into whether there were leaks about Jan. 6 prosecutions to the media.
Reuters was first to report the development. Martin claims the alleged leaks “damaged” witnesses, defendants and law enforcement officers tied to Jan. 6 cases, according to an email obtained by the outlet.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment Friday.
Martin is a longtime and staunch supporter of President Donald Trump. On Jan. 5, 2021, he addressed Trump’s supporters during a speech near the Capitol, saying there were “no summer soldiers and springtime patriots here.”
As NBC News reported last June, Martin led a chant of “Stop the Steal” that night and remarked to those gathered: “We start today, go through tomorrow and every day till we have a last breath and go home to the Lord because we will stop the steal.”
