Something very interesting is happening with Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin.
I don’t mean bad in any way, I just mean very interesting.
He is going far out of his way to offer his unending support to protect Elon Musk and DOGE.
I’ll post my original report from a few days ago below, but now here is an update:

Dear Steve and Elon,
Thank you for the referral of individuals and networks who appear to be stealing government property and/or threatening government employees. After your referral, as is my practice, I will begin an inquiry.
Please let me reiterate again: if people are discovered to have broken the law or even acted simply unethically, we will investigate them and we will chase them to the end of the Earth to hold them accountable. We will not rest or cease in this. No one should abuse American taxpayer dollars nor American taxpayer workers. No one is above the law.
I am proud that we have been able to assist local law enforcement in protecting the DOGE workers and others over the past week or so. A safe DC is a priority for President Trump and all of us.
Please keep in touch and continue to refer matters to me as soon as possible.
All the best,
(Signature)
Edward R. Martin, Jr ADVERTISEMENT
That’s one heck of a letter!
Sounds like a good guy to have on your side.
Also, I’ve never seen anyone write letters the way Ed Martin does, has anyone else?
I’ve never seen anyone cross through the names in pen and then rewrite them to the side.
I understand it’s probably intended to personalize the letter, but I’ve just never seen that method used before, has anyone else?
It’s so nice to see law enforcement back on the side of actually protecting the good guys and law and order!
Here was our original report from a few days ago:
Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Offers Elon Musk His Support To Protect DOGE
Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Offers Elon Musk His Support To Protect DOGE
A prominent attorney in President Trump's Justice Department has just pledged to protect all of Elon Musk's staff at DOGE as they work to cut out government corruption and bloat.
Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin sent a letter to Elon Musk promising to defend DOGE against any threats.
His very important letter comes as many of Elon Musk's staffers are being targeted and facing pushback from reporters and career government workers.

Newsmax reported:
"Dear @elon, Please see this important letter," Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney Ed Martin posted Monday on X. "We will not tolerate threats against DOGE workers or law-breaking by the disgruntled."
Martin's letter came amid controversy surrounding Musk's DOGE staffers having faced resistance from career government staffers. Musk led a DOGE chat on X on Sunday, urging Americans and "the judiciary" to support his group's work with the Trump administration.
"Let me assure you this: We will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work or threatens your people," Martin's letter to Musk read. "We will not act like the previous administration who looked the other way as the Antifa and BLM rioters as well as thugs with guns trashed our capital city.
"We will protect DOGE and other workers no matter what."

Ed Martin Jr. was sworn in as new Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia shortly after President Trump was inaugurated on January 20th.
His bio page on the Justice Department's website reads:
On January 20, 2025, just minutes after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, Edward R. Martin, Jr. was appointed and sworn in as Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia...
For the past two decades, Martin has maintained his own law practice while engaging in public service, including serving as Chairman of the St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners, Chief of Staff to Missouri Governor Matt Blunt, and in senior positions at the Eagle Forum Education and Legal Defense Fund, including succeeding the late Phyllis Schlafly as President. Martin was Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party, member of the Republican National Committee, and previously ran for elected office in Missouri.
Here's what Martin had to say as he was sworn in to serve in President Trump's Justice Department, per a press release:
“I want to thank President Donald Trump for trusting me to help him re-establish law and order in Washington, D.C.,” said U.S. Attorney Martin “It is the honor of my lifetime to accept his nomination as Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. I pledge to work as hard as he does for America, even though no one outworks him. I want to thank my wife and family for carrying me to this day, and I pray to the Lord Jesus Christ for the continued wisdom and courage I have always found in Him.”
Ed Martin is already hard at work protecting DOGE, and serving the American people.
Check out this statement from his investigation into prosecuting those who unlawfully target DOGE staff:

For some context, this statement was regarding reporters posting the names of individual DOGE workers and doxxing them:
Elon Musk warned reporters and those reposting the names of the DOGE workers that they had committed a crime.
