    Ed Martin Initiates Review of DOJ's Use of 18 USC 1512(c)(2) in January 6 Cases After Supreme Court Ruling

    16 postsTrump PolicyWashington DCPoliticsUnited States

    A Trump-appointed prosecutor, Ed Martin, has initiated an internal review of the Justice Department's decision to charge hundreds of defendants involved in the January 6 Capitol attack with felony obstruction offenses. This review focuses on the use of the post-Enron obstruction statute, 18 USC 1512(c)(2), against the defendants, a practice that was later invalidated by a Supreme Court ruling in June. Acting U.S. Attorney Martin has requested that prosecutors involved turn over all relevant files, notes, and other records related to these cases. The review aims to investigate the Justice Department's handling of the prosecutions, particularly in light of the Supreme Court's decision which deemed the use of the obstruction statute in this context as a 'great failure' of the office. This review comes after President Donald Trump reviewed over 1600 cases and discovered a 'massive denial of due process of liberty'. The investigation has been labeled as a 'special project' by Martin.
