That's right.

Ed Martin, a polarizing figure, even by the standards of the second Trump administration.

Remember, stopped the Steele co-founder, defended January 6th defendants, and has been a leading advocate for these investigations that target Donald Trump's political adversaries.

He, as we understand it, we've been told by three people, he's been sidelined.

from his role as heading the so-called weaponization working group, in part over his feud, longstanding feud with Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, who is said to just loathe, absolutely despise Ed Martin.

And so Ed Martin remains the pardon attorney.

That's another one of his jobs.

And the Justice Department spokesperson told us in a statement, hey, Ed has been appointed pardon attorney and he's been doing a great job at that.

He did not address what we understand to be the sidelining of Ed Martin from, I think, the role he cares more about, which is the weaponization working group role.

But that's our understanding.

He is not exercising that role right now.

He's at a different office, not at Maine Justice, working on pardons, which in and of itself is a very controversial part of the Trump administration.

But in terms of his efforts to go after people like James Comey and Letitia James, he's not involved in that anymore as we understand it, Kate.

My name is Katie.

I sell new construction homes to first-time homebuyers.

We do $200 million in revenue.

We would like to be at $300 million.

And land acquisition, the constraint of our industry, is what's stopping us.

Yeah.

Anyone who owns land.
