A woman accused of spitting on the top federal prosecutor for the nation's capital was arrested Thursday on a federal assault charge, court records show.
Then-acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin Jr. was being interviewed on video by a Newsmax reporter on a sidewalk outside his office on May 8 when Emily Gabriella Sommer approached him and spit on his left shoulder, a deputy U.S. Marshal's affidavit says.
Video captured Sommer swearing at Martin, calling him “a disgusting man” and yelling, "My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served,” before walking away, the affidavit says.
