Washington D.C.'s top prosecutor announces election fraud probe, though authority unclear
Source: Reuters
President Donald Trump's top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., on Monday announced a new push to investigate election fraud cases, according to an internal email seen by Reuters, though it was not clear how much power his office will have to do so.
Ed Martin, the interim U.S. attorney who has echoed Trump's false claims of a stolen 2020 election, told staff he was creating a new office called the Special Unit Election Accountability, and asked for volunteers to staff it.

Martin did not explain whether he would have any jurisdiction to pursue election fraud cases beyond the District of Columbia.
He also did not indicate whether he had spoken with the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, which according to department rules must be consulted before a federal prosecutor can open an election fraud case.
