Ed Martin used it, for example, to try to trump up a criminal case where there was no evidence to support it, to use the Justice Department to go after the president's enemies or his pet causes. In the case of Ed Martin tried to Trump up an investigation to claim there was a criminal investigation of an environmental fund established by the Inflation Reduction act so that he could freeze the funding.
