What controversial actions are associated with Ed Martin's nomination as top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C.?

Ed Martin has a highly controversial background that includes pushing false claims about the 2020 election and defending January 6th rioters in court. His actions became even more contentious when, in his interim role, he helped dismiss cases against January 6th defendants and fired the prosecutors who had originally brought those charges. These actions have raised significant concerns among lawmakers regarding his nomination as the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., particularly amid the broader context of federal government restructuring under the Trump administration and Elon Musk's influence.
