A U.S. Senate panel will not move forward with President Donald Trump’s pick for the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. before his temporary appointment expires later this month, a source close to the nomination process told Reuters on Tuesday.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said Ed Martin, President Trump’s controversial pick to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, will “probably” stay stuck in the Senate Judiciary Committee given the opposition from Sen.

Ed Martin's nomination hit a roadblock after Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., came out in opposition over Martin's support for Jan. 6 rioters.
