Trump withdraws Ed Martin Jr's name for top DC prosecutor after bipartisan backlash

Donald Trump withdrew Ed Martin Jr.'s nomination for US attorney following bipartisan opposition fueled by his defence of Capitol rioters. Senator Thom Tillis's disapproval and concerns over Martin's qualifications, including his involvement in the "Stop the Steal" campaign and appearances on Russian media, led to the decision. Trump acknowledged the political reality despite support from right-wing figures.
