Ed Martin, President Donald Trump’s new pardon attorney, has examined a recommendation for Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right Oath Keepers group, to receive a full pardon over his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, according to news reports.
Martin was presented with the pardon applications of Rhodes and 10 others during a meeting with Peter Ticktin, a lawyer and leader at the conservative American Rights Alliance nonprofit, last week.
“I know Ed Martin and I felt it was important to bring these particular applications to his attention,” Ticktin told Politico, which was first to report on the lawyer’s application to grant Rhodes full clemency.
Over the weekend, Martin posted a photo of his meeting with Ticktin, which Politico says took place Thursday.
“I listened! Cuz he’s wise,” Martin wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
