A woman named Alexandria Fisher has been federally charged with assault for spitting on Ed Martin, a former interim US Attorney. This incident occurred live during an interview right after President Trump withdrew Martin's nomination for the DC Attorney position. Fisher approached Martin, yelled at him, and spat in his face, resulting in her arrest shortly thereafter. The Department of Justice claims she committed assault as Martin was under federal protection due to his nomination status at the time of the incident.
Fisher, 32, was arrested shortly after the incident. The DOJ on Wednesday charged her with assaulting a federal official, citing Martin's formal nomination to a top department post.
During the interview, Suspect-1, later identified as Emily Gabriella SOMMER, approached V-1 and stated words to the effect of, Who in the fuck are you?
The DOJ alleged in its filing that Fisher later admitted multiple times she spat on Martin while replying to his posts on X.
Martin was unharmed in the encounter and continued his interview after briefly wiping his face.
