What is the significance of President Trump's nomination of Ed Martin as the top federal prosecutor in Washington?

Ed Martin's nomination is significant because he would oversee the office responsible for most January 6th Capitol riot prosecutions. This appointment has raised concerns due to Martin's connections to Trump's 'Stop the Steal' movement and questions about his political loyalty to the former president. As the top federal prosecutor in Washington, Martin would have substantial influence over how existing January 6th-related cases proceed and potentially how the Justice Department handles politically sensitive matters going forward.
