WASHINGTON — A woman accused of spitting on President Trump’s former top federal prosecutor in DC while he was giving a live TV interview was arrested Thursday and charged with assault.
Emily Gabriella Sommer, 32, interrupted then-interim DC US Attorney Ed Martin in the middle of a May 8 Newsmax broadcast discussing the withdrawal of his nomination by Trump.
“Who in the f— are you?” Sommer, who goes by the moniker “lefttits” on X, butted in while walking her dog.
“Are you Ed Martin? You are Ed Martin,” she shrieked before hocking a loogie right on the bewildered prosecutor’s tan duster.
“You are a disgusting man. F— you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served,” she declared before marching away.
Though Sommer hadn’t posted tweets since 2020, she hopped back on X after the incident to cop multiple times to the disgusting deed, according to a complaint filed Wednesday in DC federal court.
“ED, that was me that spit in your face today in front of your not USDC for D.C. Courthouse, that absolutely definitely spit in your face on camera. Hi, hello. A pleasure to hawk a dehydrated, pithy white foam spit into your face,” she posted.
“I only apologize that this city left me so dehydrated and unable to get water that I couldn’t produce more to stain and drip down your face @EagleEdMartin you punk ass bitch cuckold,” she added.
“That was meant exactly and every bit for your disgusting pig-headed swine blooded white privileged racist, misogynist, and nepotism hire. That now can’t even hold that down. LOL. Bye, enjoy that spit on your $6k lapel, your other white bitch CRACKER. I’ll find that footage and laugh for a lifetime.”
Trump tapped ex-Fox News host Jeanine Pirro to replace Martin as interim US attorney, and the former Fox News star announced the complaint against Summer in one of her first acts since assuming the post.
Sommer faces one misdemeanor count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a government official, which could earn her up to one year in prison.
The expectoration came after Martin left the US Attorney’s Office following concerns from Republicans and Democrats about his past defenses of Jan. 6 rioters — including praise for one Nazi-sympathizing former defendant who had taken a picture of himself dressed as dictator Adolf Hitler.
“I had known vaguely that he had a photo that was leaked … in the course of his prosecution,” Martin told The Post, before discussing how Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and he disagreed over his handling of Capitol riot cases early in his acting tenure.
“What I said to Senator Tillis about that situation and others was there were lots of people that were in jail for years who were freed from jail by the bipartisan Supreme Court decision,” he added, referencing a Supreme Court ruling throwing out hundreds of obstruction charges against riot defendants.
“They were people that had not hit a cop,” he also said. “These people were really wronged — and they may not be nice people.”
Trump later appointed Martin to be the associate deputy attorney general and pardon attorney.
“He’s a terrific person, and he wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” the president said before Pirro’s nomination was announced.
“I can only lift that little phone so many times in a day, but we have somebody else that will be great.”
