President Donald Trump has appointed Ed Martin as the head of the newly formed Justice Department Weaponization Working Group — a move that has Democrats, NeverTrumpers, and deep state operatives sweating bullets.
“Ed Martin has done an AMAZING job as interim U.S. Attorney, and will be moving to the Department of Justice as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims. Congratulations Ed!”
Martin—whose nomination as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. was sabotaged by spineless Senate Republicans, led by RINO Thom Tillis—is now spearheading the crackdown on the very swamp creatures behind the Russia collusion hoax.
These are the same bad actors who weaponized federal power to persecute political opponents and twisted the justice system into a partisan hit machine.
“There was no limit to the weaponization,” Martin told The New York Post. “So there may be no limit to the targets.”
“It’s a nationwide and frankly, international docket where the government was used against the citizens, where the government was weaponized,” he added.
“Sometimes there’ll be crimes involved, in which case we’ll prosecute. Sometimes there’ll be just the need to make clear this is not how it’s supposed to go.”
While the Senate was busy playing games, Martin was already wielding his authority behind the scenes.
As interim U.S. attorney, he demoted multiple prosecutors involved in the politically charged January 6th cases and began launching fresh inquiries into Russiagate actors.
Mueller’s infamous “pitbull,” Andrew Weissmann; DOJ insider Mary McCord; and disgraced former FBI counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal—who is now serving a prison sentence for colluding with sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska—were all key players in the Trump-Russia saga.
More from the New York Post:
Just last week, Martin’s office fired off an email to McGonigal’s attorney, asking for an interview with him over “information [that] has come to the attention of my office,” according to a copy of the letter first seen by The Post.
Based on the letter, it is not clear what Martin’s team unearthed about McGonigal, who is now ironically serving out a 78-month sentence for colluding with a Russian oligarch to evade US sanctions and concealing information from the feds about how he received $225,000 from someone linked to the Albanian government.

Perhaps the most high-profile known target Martin pursued is Weissman, who was the top lieutenant of the Mueller probe and is now an MSNBC legal analyst.
In March, Martin raised conflict of interest concerns against Weissman over his role in signing off on a settlement of up to $4.5 billion in a foreign bribery case revolving around Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht while serving as chief of the Criminal Fraud Section of the Justice Department in 2016.
Martin pointed out that Weissman worked for the Jenner & Block law firm before leading the DOJ’s Criminal Fraud Section.
Jenner & Block represented Canadian private equity firm Brookfield Asset Management, which seemingly took advantage of the fallout from the bribery case and purchased a 57% stake from Odebrecht in Peruvian toll road authority Rutas de Lima in 2016.
Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project (A3P), lit up social media with a fiery post on X that was retweeted by Ed Martin himself, stating, “Lawyer up, Lawfare Democrats. Justice is coming. Nobody is above the law. * Weaponization czar Ed Martin quietly probed Russiagate foes for months, teases ‘No limit to the targets’”
