Woman Spits on Ex-Trump Nominee Ed Martin During Live Interview

In a shocking incident, Ed Martin, President Trump's original pick for U.S. attorney in D.C., was spat on during a live interview with Newsmax. The incident occurred Thursday when a woman approached Martin, yelling, "You are a disgusting man," before spitting on him and walking away with her dog.

Martin, a prominent figure in the "Stop the Steal" movement, was recently in the news after Trump withdrew his nomination to serve as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. Instead, Martin was appointed to lead Attorney General Pam Bondi's new Weaponization Working Group and serve as pardon attorney in the Office of the Deputy Attorney General.

The incident sparked immediate reaction, with journalist Rob Schmitt posting a video of the event on X, stating, "Hope she's ready for a nice stretch in jail."

Martin's tenure as interim U.S. Attorney in D.C. was marked by controversy. He faced bipartisan criticism for decisions including reassigning or dismissing prosecutors handling January 6th-related cases and dropping charges. He also launched an investigation into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, which was later closed.

This incident highlights the heightened political tensions and divisions within the United States. The woman's actions, captured on camera, have quickly gone viral, sparking debate about political discourse and the consequences of such actions.
