Washington, DC, Ed Martin’s interim US lawyers expressly say they are presidential lawyers rather than officers who support independent law, rather than swearing to support the constitution. I have declared it.
“As President Trump’s lawyers, we are proud to fight to protect our leadership as president. We are like the AP organization that refuses to put America first. We are wary of facing off against the US law firm,” the US Lawyer posted on the image, signed by X, Martin.
This statement is directly inconsistent with the federal oath of Martin’s oath. Martin requires lawyers to “do themselves right according to the law” and “support the US Constitution.”
The post is controversial by Martin, a billionaire related to Marcin’s so-called “government efficiency” billionaire Elon Musk, who recently promised to “pursuing all legal action against those who hinder your work.” Following patterns of behavior. Without making any charges, Martin argued that his office had evidence against the mask initiative “convicted an act that believed to be in violation of the law.”
According to an email seen in the Washington Post, Martin also said earlier work at the office was “A Great” weeks after Trump forgived nearly 1,600 people accused in connection with January 6. He called the previous work in the office a “big failure.”
Some Congressional Democrats quickly condemned Martin’s statement. Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost wrote in pursuit of Martin’s resignation: “U.S. lawyers are not lawyers for the president. They are lawyers for the United States.”
Virginia Rep. Don Bayer said: “Washington deserves federal law enforcement, which protects its rights without violating the constitution, focusing on fighting crime rather than trying to censor free press or political opponents. A basic understanding would be good too.”
The Justice Department has historically maintained its independence from the White House influence to ensure equal application of the law. Martin’s office did not respond to requests for comment on how his declaration coincided with this tradition or sworn constitutional obligation.
