Woman Accused Of Spitting On Fmr DOJ Attorney Arrested On Assault Charge
Police arrested a woman for allegedly spitting on President Donald Trump’s former top federal prosecutor in DC during a live TV interview.
Emily Gabriella Sommer, 32, interrupted then-interim DC US Attorney Ed Martin in the middle of a May 8 Newsmax broadcast discussing the withdrawal of his nomination by Trump.
“Who in the f— are you?” Sommer, who goes by the moniker “lefttits” on X, butted in while walking her dog.
“Are you Ed Martin? You are Ed Martin,” she shrieked before hocking a loogie right on the bewildered prosecutor.

“You are a disgusting man. F— you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served,” she declared before marching away.
According to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in a federal court in Washington, DC, Sommer returned to X after the event to repeatedly confess to the heinous act, even though she hadn’t tweeted since 2020.
“ED, that was me that spit in your face today in front of your not USDC for D.C. Courthouse, that absolutely definitely spit in your face on camera. Hi, hello. A pleasure to hawk a dehydrated, pithy white foam spit into your face,” she posted.
“I only apologize that this city left me so dehydrated and unable to get water that I couldn’t produce more to stain and drip down your face @EagleEdMartin you punk ass bitch cuckold,” she added.
“That was meant exactly and every bit for your disgusting pig-headed swine blooded white privileged racist, misogynist, and nepotism hire. That now can’t even hold that down. LOL. Bye, enjoy that spit on your $6k lapel, your other white bitch CRACKER. I’ll find that footage and laugh for a lifetime.”

In order to fill the position of temporary United States Attorney, President Trump appointed Jeanine Pirro, a former personality on Fox News, to take over for Martin. In one of her first acts since taking over the position, the former Fox News star launched the lawsuit against Summer.
A misdemeanor count of assaulting, obstructing, or hindering a government officer is being brought against Sommer, and she stands the possibility of serving up to one year in jail for the offense.
After Martin departed the United States Attorney’s Office, the anticipation came about as a result of concerns raised by both Republicans and Democrats over his previous defenses of rioters on January 6. These arguments included admiration for a prior defendant who had shot a picture of himself dressed as Adolf Hitler, a Nazi sympathizer.
“I had known vaguely that he had a photo that was leaked … in the course of his prosecution,” Martin told The Post, before discussing how Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and he disagreed over his handling of Capitol riot cases early in his acting tenure.
“What I said to Senator Tillis about that situation and others was there were lots of people that were in jail for years who were freed from jail by the bipartisan Supreme Court decision,” he added, referencing a SCOTUS ruling throwing out hundreds of obstruction charges against riot defendants.
“They were people that had not hit a cop,” he also said. “These people were really wronged — and they may not be nice people.”

Trump later appointed Martin as the associate deputy attorney general and pardon attorney.
“He’s a terrific person, and he wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” the president said before Pirro’s nomination was announced.
“I can only lift that little phone so many times in a day, but we have somebody else that will be great.”
