Raskin pushes the Ministry of Justice to curb the US Prosecutor, Ed Martin

Representative Jimmy Raskin, the largest Democrat in the Supervisory Committee in the House of Representatives, calls for an inspector of the Ministry of Public Justice in the lawyer of the disposal of the transport units, who in its first few weeks in this position, the existence of a certain point of achieving the enemies of President Donald Trump.

“… since he took office, Mr. Martin has used his office to attack critics illegally and enemies listed in the Trump administration while exposing the public safety of citizens and visitors to the capital of our nation,” Raskin wrote on March 12. letter To the Inspector of the Ministry of Justice Michael Horowitz.

“Master. Martin also threatened to investigate and try the Trump administration’s critics, including journalists, lawyers, peaceful demonstrators and members of Congress, in a flagrant violation of the first amendment,” Raskin continued. “Master. Martin has already launched more than ten federal prosecutors assigned to prosecute violent crimes in Washington, DC, simply because they worked in the huge attacks that are not due to the Capitol on January 6, 2021 – The Martin attack was a personal participant and publicly supported him.”

The nine -page message, obtained for the first time before Washington PostDetails of a series of modern measures taken by Martin that Raskin argues “it seems to violate the constitution, federal laws, the regulations of the Ministry of Justice, and the rules of legal ethics.”

In particular, it is noted that Martin tried to freeze climate financing worth 20 billion dollars illegally, linked to the greenhouse gas reducing fund, which was allocated to the non -profit organizations for the environment for various climate projects during the Biden administration.

The director of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeladen, who was doing an effort to cancel and investigate the financing of the federal climate during the Biden era, Declare Wednesday, Weeks after freezing moneyHe has ended $ 20 billion in climate grants.

The letter also indicates the recent resignation of Dennis Cheung, who was responsible for the criminal section of the Washington lawyer’s office in Washington. In her resignation letter to Martin, Cheung noticed that there was not enough evidence to open a major investigation into these jury in the Biden era funds. She refused to comply with Martin’s order to open such an investigation and resigned instead.

“In an attempt to restore $ 20 billion from the grants granted to clean energy projects granted under GGRF, Mr. Martin asked the head of the criminal department in his office, Dennis Cheung, to launch a criminal investigation and freeze the contracting assets of the contractor without any possible reason.” “Master. Martin’s efforts are compatible with the general approach to the administration towards GGRF. Instead of implementing this program as directed at Congress, the Trump administration has published the baseless claims of those who have no basis to stop the program.”

Raskin also sheds light on the message as referred to as “contradictory interests in interests and violations” in cases related to the sixth January attack on the Capitol.

“After he became an active participant in the sixth of January, Mr. Martin personally held the position of defense lawyer for at least three rioters in January 6, and all of them were convicted of trial,” Raskin notes.

Raskin also notes that Martin has taken revenge against the public prosecutors involved in cases related to January 6, as they called dozens of “professional federal prosecutors who were originally appointed to help in the sixth cases and have been appointed since then to sue violence.”
