Ed Martin, the Justice Department’s pardon attorney, is stepping down—announced by President Trump himself—to focus on election legal battles ahead of the midterms and 2028. Trump praised Martin’s commitment to fair elections and constitutional defense, despite his controversial tenure marked by high-profile moves like urging New York’s AG to resign and being photographed outside her home—a case later dismissed. Martin’s clashes with DOJ leadership led to his removal from a working group, yet he retained his post, earning praise as a patriot from Attorney General Todd Blanche. Before joining the Justice Department, Martin was deeply involved in “Stop the Steal” and supported January 6 defendants. His exit coincides with Trump’s ongoing push for election integrity, including new legislation on noncitizen voting and FBI efforts to acquire voting records and equipment from battleground states—raising questions about the scope and intent of these actions.
