President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he will withdraw the nomination of Ed Martin to be the top federal prosecutor for Washington D.C., telling reporters that "we have somebody else that will be great."
The development comes a day after Martin's chances were all but quashed after Sen. Thom Tillis told press he wouldn't support his nomination. Considering that there are 12 Republicans and 12 Democrats in the panel, his nomination would not even make it to the floor if all Democrats reject it, as it was seemingly the case.
