The Trump administration has initiated an investigation into prosecutors who handled criminal cases against defendants involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. This move follows President Donald Trump's pledge to seek retribution, as confirmed by sources familiar with an internal memo.
Interim US Attorney in Washington, DC, Ed Martin, has spearheaded this investigation, focusing on prosecutors who brought obstruction charges against rioters. These charges were later dismissed due to a Supreme Court decision last summer. Martin referred to the investigation as a 'special project' and instructed attorneys to provide all relevant information related to the use of 1512 charges.
