May 5, 2025, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging Senate confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nomination of Ed Martin to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia:
“As acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin is cleaning house and combating one of the most partisan, politically weaponized districts in the entire country that tried to prosecute President Donald Trump and abused its powers in targeting Jan. 6, 2021 protesters, by firing prosecutors involved with these politically charged cases and conducting much-needed internal reviews at the Justice Department. Draining the swamp and ending weaponization isn’t going to be easy, and President Trump needs tough as nails U.S. attorneys who are not afraid to take on the deep state and entrenched political establishment that has it in for the American people. Already on the job, Ed Martin has what it takes to be the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and help President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi to restore the rule of law.”
