Overview

  • Ed Martin, recently withdrawn as Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in D.C., was spat on during a live Newsmax interview in New York City.
  • The unidentified woman accused Martin of being a 'disgusting man' before spitting on him and walking away with her dog.
  • The incident occurred hours after Trump reassigned Martin to DOJ roles, including Director of the Weaponization Working Group and Pardon Attorney.
  • Jeanine Pirro, former judge and Fox News host, has been appointed as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. following Martin's nomination withdrawal.
  • Spitting is considered simple assault under the law, and calls for legal action against the woman have surfaced, including from Newsmax host Rob Schmitt.
