Trump’s favorite DOJ henchman goes there:
A top Justice Department official has retracted a letter he sent to an FBI agent who responded to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre that suggested the agent was being investigated in relation to a defamation lawsuit against Alex Jones.
In a letter to William Aldenberg’s attorney last week, President Donald Trump ally Ed Martin implied the agent was being scrutinized because of his role in a major lawsuit led by families of victims that resulted in a $1.4 billion judgment against the conspiracy theorist Jones.
Aldenberg, who was one of the first responders the day of the 2012 elementary school massacre, was a plaintiff in the lawsuit. He and the families testified that they faced years of harassment and threats from those who believed Jones’ lies that the shooting, which killed 20 first graders and six adults, was a hoax.
Martin initially told Aldenberg’s attorney that he had questions about the agent benefiting financially from the lawsuit and ominously warned that “there are criminal laws protecting the citizens from actions by government employees who may be acting for personal benefit.”
“I encourage you to review those,” Martin wrote, according to a copy of the letter Jones posted on X.
But in a new letter addressed to attorney Christopher Mattei on Wednesday, Martin withdrew his initial letter entirely.
In a brief note, CNN first reported, Martin wrote that there is no investigation of Aldenberg and “because of this, I hereby withdraw my request for information from you or your former client.”
Martin was ordered by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to retract the letter, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Martin had met with Jones earlier last month. That’s the picture above. Apparently, the freak whined to Martin that he’s been railroaded by the Deep State.
I guess it’s good news that there actually does seem to be a red line for Todd Blanche. But we had to go all the way to Alex Jones to find it.
