Ed Martin, the outgoing acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has stated that the Trump administration intends to examine certain pardons granted by Joe Biden. These appear to be an unconventional array of clemency actions issued as Biden’s term concluded.

The controversial lawyer made the remarks during a farewell press conference in the nation’s capital on Tuesday, according to The Hill.

“I believe that Biden’s pardons require careful analysis,” Martin remarked. “Such analysis is essential because we want pardons to be meaningful, properly understood, and appropriately applied. Thus, I think a thorough review is necessary.”

Questions followed the presser, but Martin kept mum when asked if he would be looking into members of Congress who investigated the Jan. 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol, according to CBS News.

Martin, a controversial figure in the U.S. Department of Justice, was President Donald Trump‘s initial pick for the district’s top federal prosecutor. His nomination was shot down last week after Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Martin’s defense of Jan. 6 rioters was a bridge too far; opposition seemed indicative of a broader trend.

On Wednesday, Trump will formally nominate former Westchester County District Attorney and TV show host Jeanine Pirro in Martin’s stead.

But the 45th and 47th president has multiple roles waiting for Martin, a longtime conservative activist and Trump supporter.

“Ed Martin has done an AMAZING job as interim U.S. Attorney, and will be moving to the Department of Justice as the new Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney,” Trump said in a Truth Social post announcing the change. “In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims.”
