A dramatic incident unfolded during a TV interview when an irate woman spat on Ed Martin, a former lawyer for Trump. The episode was recorded as Martin spoke to Newsmax about stepping down from his role as a federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C.
While he was speaking, an unidentified woman, walking her dog, suddenly approached and began waving her fingers at him.

“You’re Ed Martin,” she shouted angrily.
After hurling insults, she spat directly at him, leaving Martin momentarily frozen in disbelief.
“You’re a nasty guy,” she yelled at one point.
The footage has rapidly circulated online, attracting millions of views and prompting some users to label the woman as a “crazy leftist.”
This unsettling incident occurred just hours after Trump announced he was withdrawing Martin’s nomination, amid concerns about his limited legal experience and divisive political ties, particularly regarding the events of January 6.
Trump remarked that Martin was a good candidate but lacked support from expected allies. He later indicated that Martin would take on a different role as Associate Deputy Attorney General.
