福克斯新闻获悉，美国司法部（DOJ）已将其赦免律师从内部”武器化工作组”中移除，尽管官员表示这个政治敏感的小组现在开会频率更高。
埃德·马丁（Ed Martin）目前担任司法部赦免律师，这一职位由总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）任命，负责审查赦免申请并就特赦和减刑向白宫提供建议。他也曾参与司法部内部的武器化工作组。
周一，司法部发言人向福克斯新闻证实，马丁已被从工作组中除名，但目前尚不清楚具体原因。
司法部发言人表示：”特朗普总统任命埃德·马丁为赦免律师，埃德在这一职位上继续出色地履行职责。”

特朗普于去年2月提名马丁担任哥伦比亚特区美国检察官，马丁曾是一名前辩护律师，曾代表2021年1月6日美国国会大厦骚乱案中的被告。但由于议员们的担忧导致马丁的提名被搁置，特朗普随后撤回了提名。
特朗普转而提名让·皮尔罗（Jeanine Pirro）担任该职位，她最终获得确认。

马丁于2025年5月14日被任命为美国赦免律师，并当时由特朗普任命为司法部武器化工作组主任，直到周一宣布将其除名。
该工作组于2025年初成立，目前会议频率更高，目标是最终实现每日会议。它是一个内部审查机构，旨在调查联邦执法和检察权是否被滥用以谋取政治或党派目的。

马丁此前因与纽约总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯相关的行为受到审查。今年8月，一名代表詹姆斯的律师批评马丁访问其布鲁克林住所并公开暗示她辞职，称此次访问是”为媒体量身定做的噱头”。
马丁后来表示，他访问该房产是为了”亲眼看看”，并在社交媒体上分享了访问照片。
随后，他被授予特别检察官权力，调查涉及詹姆斯和加利福尼亚州民主党参议员亚当·希夫（Adam Schiff）的抵押贷款欺诈案件，两人均否认有不当行为，并将调查描述为政治动机。
马丁还在一封他称为”机密”但后来在X平台上公开分享的信中敦促詹姆斯辞职。

The Justice Department (DOJ) has removed its pardon attorney from an internal “Weaponization Working Group,” even as officials say the politically sensitive panel is now meeting more frequently, Fox News has learned.
Ed Martin currently serves as the DOJ’s pardon attorney, a role appointed by President Donald Trump that involves reviewing clemency applications and advising the White House on pardons and commutations. He had also participated in the department’s internal Weaponization Working Group.
A DOJ spokesperson confirmed to Fox News on Monday that Martin had been removed from the working group, though it was not immediately clear why.
“President Trump appointed Ed Martin as Pardon Attorney and Ed continues to do a great job in that role,” a DOJ spokesperson said.

Trump nominated Martin, a former defense attorney who represented Americans charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia in February of last year.
But after concerns from lawmakers stalled Martin’s confirmation, Trump withdrew the nomination.
Trump instead nominated Jeanine Pirro for the role, and she was ultimately confirmed.

Martin was appointed to serve as U.S. pardon attorney on May 14, 2025, and was named by Trump at the time to serve as director of the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group, a role he held until his removal was announced Monday.
The working group was formed in early 2025 and is now meeting more frequently, with the goal of eventually meeting daily. It is an internal review body created to examine claims that federal law enforcement and prosecutorial powers were misused for political or partisan purposes.

Martin has previously drawn scrutiny over his actions involving New York Attorney General Letitia James. In August, a lawyer representing James criticized Martin for visiting her Brooklyn residence and publicly suggesting she resign, calling the visit a “made-for-media stunt.”
Martin later said he visited the property to “lay eyes on it” and shared images of the visit on social media.

He was subsequently granted special prosecutorial authority to pursue mortgage fraud investigations involving James and Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., both of whom have denied wrongdoing and described the probes as politically motivated.
Martin also urged James to step down in a letter he described as “confidential” but later shared publicly on X.
