One key Senate Republican said he wouldn’t support Martin’s nomination.
President Donald Trump said on May 8 that he was pulling Ed Martin’s nomination to lead the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia after a key Senate Republican announced he wouldn’t support the nominee.
Martin, a conservative attorney and longtime activist, has been serving as Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
“He’s a terrific person, and he wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought—he’s done a very good job,” Trump said in the Oval Office.
The president said he was disappointed that the nominee did not receive enough Senate support.
“We have somebody else that we will be announcing over the next two days,” he said.
