Former federal prosecutors for D.C. sign memo opposing Ed Martin as D.C. U.S. attorney

Nearly 100 former employees and prosecutors for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., have signed a memo opposing President Trump's nominee to lead the office.  

The memo is the latest effort by critics of acting D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to stop his Senate confirmation for the permanent role, which is among the most powerful federal prosecutor positions in the country. The letter was signed by a group of former prosecutors who served in the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office across seven decades, under administrations from Lyndon B. Johnson's through Joe Biden's. 

The memo, a copy of which was shared with CBS News, called for the rejection fo Martin's nomination.
