Woman accused of spitting on a top federal prosecutor is arrested on an assault charge
- On May 22, 2025, Emily Gabriella Sommer was taken into custody in Washington, D.C., following an incident on May 8 in which she spat on the federal prosecutor leading the district, Ed Martin Jr., during a video interview.
- The incident occurred the same day President Donald Trump withdrew Martin's nomination to permanently lead the U.S. Attorney's Office for D.C.
- Sommer confronted Martin on a sidewalk near his office, spat on his left shoulder, called him a "disgusting man," and loudly identified herself as Emily Gabriella Sommer, declaring that he had been served before walking away.
- A deputy U.S. Marshal's affidavit confirmed these details, and Sommer later admitted to the spitting in a social media message responding to Martin.
- Authorities charged Sommer with assaulting, resisting, or impeding a government official, and her arrest highlights tensions around the federal prosecutor's nomination withdrawal.
