WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - A prosecutor appointed by U.S. President Donald Trump has opened an internal review of the Justice Department's decision to charge hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants with felony obstruction offenses in connection with the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The newspaper reported that Ed Martin, the acting U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., asked prosecutors on Monday to turn over files, documents, notes, emails and other information related to the case.
Trump pardoned more than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, including some who assaulted police officers, hours after he was sworn in as president last week.
