A woman from Washington, D.C. who allegedly spat on former interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin has been arrested and charged with violating federal law, according to Washingtonian Magazine.
According to court documents, Emily Gabriella Sommer allegedly approached Martin on May 8 while he was being interviewed live on Newsmax and “lunged” at him before spitting on his left shoulder and walking away while yelling, “You are a disgusting man. [Expletive] you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served.”
The complaint notes that a social media account controlled by Sommer tweeted about Martin several times prior to the incident, including multiple posts that state, “That was me that spit in your face today.”
