Ed Martin, recently appointed as the head of the Trump administration’s Weaponization Working Group, has outlined an aggressive approach to investigating what the administration describes as the misuse of government power to target conservatives.
Martin’s focus spans a wide range of potential targets, from those involved in the Russia investigation to international entities accused of censoring Americans. He aims to uncover the truth behind these actions and hold those responsible to account, while also supporting the individuals he sees as victims of this alleged government overreach.
Martin, a former interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., and former Missouri Republican Party chairman, has long been involved in crafting strategies to counter perceived government weaponization. He was instrumental in shaping the GOP’s 2024 platform language against “woke and weaponized government.”
Now leading a team of 15 to 18 members, Martin says he intends to follow the facts wherever they lead, potentially pursuing criminal charges in some cases. Despite facing opposition from Sen. Thom Tillis, which blocked his confirmation as a full-fledged U.S. Attorney, Martin says the outcome has positioned him perfectly for this new role.
