#EdMartin is formally accused of violating his ethical codes as an #attorney for telling #Georgetown Law’s dean last year that his #DOJ office wouldn’t hire students because of the school’s #diversity, #inclusion & #equity initiatives programs, according to the filing from Hamilton Fox, the disciplinary counsel for DC who acts as a quasi-prosecutor on attorney discipline matters.

Unlike unsolicited complaints, Fox’s formal disciplinary complaint kicks off professional conduct proceedings for #EdMartin in which he will need to respond & could be sanctioned or ultimately lose his law license.

Fox’s announcement on Tuesday marks the first major bar discipline proceeding against a high-profile admin official or attorney supporting Trump during his second term.

“Acting in his official capacity & speaking on behalf of the government, he used coercion to punish or suppress a disfavored viewpoint, the teaching & promotion of ‘DEI,’” Fox wrote in the complaint. “He demanded that Georgetown Law relinquish its free speech & religious rights in order to continue to obtain a benefit, employment opportunities for its students.”

#EdMartin was removed from the top prosecutor job in DC after senators made clear he would not be confirmed to the role, but has remained at the #DOJ in several roles, including as pardon attorney.

“Mr. Martin knew or should have known that, as a government official, his conduct violated the First & Fifth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States,” Fox wrote.

Martin is being represented by a DOJ attorney, a source told CNN.
