美国司法部的一份审查报告发现，埃德·马丁（Ed Martin）在调查针对唐纳德·特朗普政治对手的案件中，不当处理了大陪审团材料。至少两名知情人士向美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）透露了这一消息。这至少是马丁今年早些时候被调离司法部总部的部分原因。
据多位知情人士向CNN透露，此次审查由司法部副部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）办公室监督，重点调查该部门针对民主党参议员亚当·希夫（Adam Schiff）和纽约州总检察长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）的抵押贷款欺诈调查中收集的大陪审团材料，是否被非法泄露给未经授权接触这些信息的人员。
一名消息人士称，审查发现马丁在希夫案件中分享了秘密大陪审团材料。该人士表示，当部门领导询问时，马丁最初否认曾向未经授权人员分享材料，但随后电子邮件证据浮出水面，显示他确实共享了大陪审团材料。

另一名人士告诉CNN，不当行为的调查结果成为副检察长进一步排斥马丁的理由。马丁在2026年新年第一天被免去所谓“武器化工作组”（Weaponization Working Group）负责人职务，并被调离司法部总部，迁往城区另一栋大楼，仅保留特赦官（Pardon Attorney）一职。
“总统特朗普命令埃德·马丁在任何地方打击武器化行为，”一名与马丁关系密切的人士表示，“作为副检察长办公室的成员，埃德处理了数百起案件和事务，他与联合主席科林·麦克唐纳德（Colin McDonald）及武器化工作组的成员始终遵循司法部的标准和程序。”

马丁预计将在未来几周内离开司法部。
他尚未被指控犯罪，司法部也未确定是否存在违法行为。
布兰奇在给CNN的声明中表示：“针对埃德·马丁没有进行不当行为调查。埃德作为特赦官工作表现出色。”
该声明未回应是否曾对马丁处理大陪审团材料的行为进行过审查。
马丁一直是总统调查或起诉其政治对手（包括对希夫的调查以及对前FBI局长詹姆斯·科米和詹姆斯的起诉）的主要标志性人物。一名法官于11月驳回了对科米和詹姆斯的起诉，认定提起诉讼的检察官被非法任命。
2025年1月，特朗普任命马丁为华盛顿特区临时美国检察官。他立即着手推进特朗普的议程，包括降级和驱逐处理1月6日相关案件的高级检察官，并誓言保护政府效率部（DOGE）员工。最终，他未能获得参议院足够支持，特朗普于2025年5月撤回了对其提名。
12月，一名收到传票的证人前往马里兰州格林贝尔特法院寻求作证，马丁处理材料的审查工作才公之于众。
该证人是一名来自加利福尼亚州的共和党女性克里斯汀·比什（Christine Bish），她告诉CNN，调查人员询问了两名声称与马丁和联邦住房金融局局长比尔·普尔特（Bill Pulte）合作办理欺诈案件的人员。司法部正调查这两人是否冒充联邦特工。
几天后，一名社交媒体用户强调了这一持续调查，并提及普尔特和马丁正在接受调查。司法部长帕姆·邦迪（Pam Bondi）在X平台上回应时似乎试图纠正这一说法，但未详细说明，她写道：“没有针对比尔·普尔特的调查。”
马丁被解除武器化工作组负责人职务并未阻碍该小组工作。一名知情人士向CNN透露，该小组已加大力度，审查拜登政府期间采取的执法行动，寻找邦迪所谓“政治化司法”的例子。
该人士称，小组计划很快公布部分调查结果。
Justice Department review found Trump ally Ed Martin improperly leaked grand jury material in probe of president’s foes

A Justice Department review found that Ed Martin improperly handled grand jury materials that were part of an investigation targeting Donald Trump’s political enemies, at least two sources familiar with the review told CNN. It was at least part of the reason Martin was pushed out of DOJ headquarters early this year.
The review, which was overseen by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s office, focused on whether grand jury material gathered in the department’s mortgage fraud inquiries into Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James had been illegally shared with people not authorized to possess that information, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
The department found that Martin had shared the secret grand jury material in the Schiff case, one of the sources said. The person said Martin initially denied sharing the material with unauthorized people when asked by department leaders, but emails soon surfaced showing that Martin had in fact shared the grand jury material.

A second person told CNN a finding of misconduct gave the deputy attorney general a reason to further ostracize Martin. Martin was removed as the head of the so-called Weaponization Working Group on the first day of 2026 and he was relocated out of department headquarters to a building across town that houses the pardon attorney — Martin’s one remaining role.
“President Trump ordered Ed Martin to fight weaponization wherever it’s found,” a person close to Martin said. “As a member of the Deputy Attorney General’s staff, Ed handled hundreds of cases and matters directed by the DAG. Ed, his co-chair Colin McDonald, and the members of the Weaponization Working Group followed DOJ standards and procedures at all times.”

Martin is expected to leave the department in coming weeks.
He has not been charged with a crime, and the Justice Department hasn’t determined whether any law was broken.
In a statement to CNN, Blanche said, “there are no misconduct investigations into Ed Martin. Ed is doing a great job as Pardon Attorney.”
The statement did not address whether there was ever a review of Martin’s handling of grand jury material.
Martin has been a main figurehead in the president’s campaign to investigate or prosecute his political foes, including the investigation into Schiff and the prosecutions of former FBI Director James Comey and James. A judge dismissed the Comey and James prosecutions in November, finding that the prosecutor who brought the charges was unlawfully appointed.
In January 2025, Trump appointed Martin as the interim US attorney for Washington, DC. He immediately started working on Trump’s agenda, including demoting and pushing out senior prosecutors who worked on cases related to January 6 and vowing to protect employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He ultimately failed to receive enough support from the Senate, and Trump pulled his nomination for the position in May 2025.
The review of Martin’s handling of materials burst into public view in December after a witness who received a subpoena showed up at the courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, seeking to testify.
The witness, a Republican woman from California named Christine Bish, told CNN that investigators asked her about two people who claimed to be working on fraud cases alongside Martin and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte. The Justice Department was investigating whether those two people were impersonating federal agents.
Days later, a social media user highlighted that ongoing probe and referenced Pulte and Martin being under investigation. Attorney General Pam Bondi responded by seemingly trying to correct the record, without elaborating. “There is no investigation into Bill Pulte” she wrote on X.
Martin’s removal from the head of the Weaponization Working Group has not hindered its work, a person familiar with the matter, and CNN reported that the group has ramped up its efforts to review law enforcement actions taken under the Biden administration for any examples of what Bondi has called “politicized justice.”
The group plans to release some of their findings soon, the person said.
