Ed Martin’s Confirmation In Doubt

“Ed Martin’s troubled bid to become U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia is in real doubt after the Senate Judiciary Committee announced it wouldn’t consider his nomination this week,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Late Monday night, Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans noticed an executive business meeting for Thursday that didn’t include Martin’s nomination. Time is running out for Martin, who can only serve 120 days as the interim U.S. attorney before President Donald Trump will have to choose another nominee.”
