Precious Senate floor time is often needed to overcome holds on presidential nominees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the past nine weeks, Ed Martin has consistently undermined the independence and abused the power of the US Attorney&#8217;s office in DC, openly threatening and intimidating political opponents, dismissing charges against his own clients, firing public servants for their roles in legitimate investigations and using his office as a cudgel to chill dissent and free speech,&#8221; Schiff said in a statement to CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Former staff in the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office in D.C. have criticized Martin for dismissing prosecutors who handled cases involving U.S. Capitol insurrectionists. Martin has praised <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tesla-violence-protest-elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Elon Musk<\/a><\/span> and Mr. Trump on his social media account in the two months since taking over as top prosecutor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Martin posted in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EagleEdMartin\/status\/1887901087983689761\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">letter on X<\/a>\u00a0that he would go after those who have threatened Musk and Department of Government Efficiency employees, pursuing them &#8220;to the end of the earth to hold them accountable.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He has been posting on social media about crime in Washington, D.C., using the hashtag #MarchBadness.\u00a0 In one post last month, Martin wrote, &#8220;Hey, thugs with guns, you hear that? Yup, we comin.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In another social media post earlier this year, Martin wrote that his predecessor was a &#8220;Biden prosecutor&#8221; who &#8220;upped political prosecutions, he steered resources to a now-debunked legal theory that targeted American citizens, and gun prosecutions went down. Literally. Let me be clear: he used our $ to chase political hoaxes while the people of DC were terrorized by thugs with guns.&#8221; \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Schiff said, &#8220;No one embodies Donald Trump&#8217;s personal weaponization of the Justice Department more than Ed Martin. He is unfit to serve as a lawyer, let alone one with the resources \u2013 and cover from the Senate \u2013 to further twist the power of the law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Martin declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>Before he was appointed acting U.S. attorney in D.C., Martin was a politician in Missouri and served on the Republican National Committee platform committee in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n      <em><\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jacob-rosen\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jacob Rosen<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.<br \/>\n      <\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/scott-macfarlane\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Scott MacFarlane<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/scott-macfarlane\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/2547b37b-aacb-4322-8642-5a0e056a304f\/thumbnail\/80x80\/3d64bfebf6e5c49817b2a092e16191fe\/headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg?v=7613930c2bdb7d1bf55be910a9b022f2 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/2547b37b-aacb-4322-8642-5a0e056a304f\/thumbnail\/160x160\/51c5e90efa00098be23a0152835d52e7\/headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg?v=7613930c2bdb7d1bf55be910a9b022f2 2x\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Scott MacFarlane is CBS News&#8217; Justice correspondent.
