Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is withholding support for Trump’s nominee, Ed Martin, for U.S. Attorney for D.C., allowing Judge Jeb Boasberg to potentially choose the official.

Prominent conservatives are concerned about Martin’s defeat. Trump’s December 2024 announcement and Martin’s January 2025 installation as interim U.S. Attorney emphasize the position’s significance. Failure to confirm him could impact Trump’s strategic goals.
