Person of record

Edward R. Martin Jr.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia (Trump appointee, 2025) · U.S. Attorney - DC

Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia under the Trump administration. After Ryan Nichols received the January 20, 2025 presidential pardon, U.S. Attorney Martin moved to dismiss the charges in *United States v. Nichols* (1:21-cr-00117-TFH) with prejudice — meaning the case cannot be brought again. The dismissal followed Martin's broader review of January 6 cases.
