Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said he told the White House he would not support Ed Martin’s nomination to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
Tillis is a key vote on the Senate Judiciary Committee to advance Martin’s nomination to a full Senate vote.
“Most of my concerns related to January 6th,” Tillis said.
“If Mr. Martin were being put forth as a U.S. attorney for any district except the district where Jan. 6 happened, the protest happened, I’d probably support him. But not in this district,” Tillis continued.
“At this point, I’ve indicated to the White House I wouldn’t support his nomination,” he added.
