President Donald Trump disclosed on Friday that Ed Martin, who serves as the pardon attorney for the Department of Justice, will be stepping down from his role. The announcement came directly from the president without additional details regarding Martin’s departure or plans for his replacement.
Martin’s exit marks a significant shift in the DOJ’s pardon office, which handles applications and recommendations for presidential clemency. The timing of his departure coincides with Trump’s return to the White House and his stated interest in reviewing pardon and commutation cases.
