<p>The D.C. leftist who spit on then-U.S. Attorney Ed Martin could be jailed for violating the conditions of her release by continuing to harass Martin since her arrest.</p>
<p>Emily Gabriella Sommer threatened Martin via X on Tuesday, using racial slurs against him and seemingly implying that D.C. jurors will engage in jury nullification by refusing to convict her, prosecutors said Thursday.</p>
<p>Sommer was able to post on social media because of the court&#8217;s leniency, which released her without bail on May 22, the same day she was arrested, after she spit on Martin on camera while he was giving a TV interview.</p>
<p>The government had not requested pretrial detention, but the conditions of her release prohibited &#8220;all contact, directly or indirectly, with any person who is or may be a victim or witness in the investigation or prosecution, including&#8230; Ed Martin.&#8221;</p>
<p>Prosecutors found that Sommer, posting from her X handle with the display name &#8220;lefttits,&#8221; this week tagged Martin and wrote, &#8220;My property has essentially been seized and I do not have the basic necessities nor money to provide for myself nor my dog. F*** you, Ed&#8230; but since you&#8217;ve once again made me hostage in this city, I&#8217;ll make sure it eats you alive and spits you back out, like the felony &#8216;assault&#8217; you&#8217;ve alleged, wit your punk-ass-b****-cuckold-neo-beo-no-brained-Neaderthal (no shade to actual non-Sapiens) cracka ass, jive-turkey redneck from the Midwest.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You mad, bro? You got fired, and then caught a loogie to the shoulder. I don&#8217;t think that makes you any sort of &#8216;active&#8217; official. You&#8217;re in the wrong court&#8230; Come at me dawg,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>Sommer also harangued Jeanine Pirro, who replaced Martin as President Donald Trump&#8217;s U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia after it became clear the Senate would not confirm him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Lmaooooo @JudgeJeanine is the bish that took your job. That&#8217;s gotta hurt. And she&#8217;s got so much trash talk comin her way too, don&#8217;t worry bish, you&#8217;ll get it too,&#8221; she wrote, according to court papers.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">This afternoon acting DC US Atty Ed Martin was spit on by a psychotic lib during our interview. Hope she’s ready for a nice stretch in jail. <a href="https://t.co/2Y5hj41V0l">pic.twitter.com/2Y5hj41V0l</a></p>
<p>— Rob Schmitt (@SchmittNYC) <a href="https://twitter.com/SchmittNYC/status/1920574701417480574?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 8, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Sommer was charged with &#8220;assaulting, resisting, or impeding a government official&#8221; and arrested on May 22. &#8220;In the course of the arrest, the Defendant kicked and spit on one Deputy United States Marshal and kicked another Deputy United States Marshal,&#8221; prosecutors said in court papers.</p>
<p>Pirro on Thursday asked Judge Matthew Sharbaugh to revoke the conditions of Sommer&#8217;s release, saying &#8220;there is clear and convincing evidence that the Defendant violated a condition of release.&#8221;</p>
<p>She <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.280796/gov.uscourts.dcd.280796.9.0_1.pdf">wrote</a> that tagging Martin &#8220;would likely cause the post to appear in the Notifications tab of the victim&#8217;s X account. The posts, therefore, violated the Court&#8217;s order to &#8216;avoid all contact, directly or indirectly&#8217; with the victim.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Defendant’s conduct demonstrates that the Defendant is unlikely to abide by any condition or combination of conditions of release. In particular, the charged assault and subsequent assaults on law enforcement officers demonstrate the Defendant’s unwillingness to abide by the law and comply with lawful authorities. Likewise, the Defendant’s recent X posts demonstrate a disregard for the conditions of release set by this Court, which the Defendant agreed to follow less than two weeks ago,&#8221; she wrote.</p>
<p>On May 8, Sommer approached Martin outside the courthouse as he was giving an on-camera interview with Newsmax. She said, &#8220;Are you Ed Martin? You are. Ed Martin.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Next, Sommer lunged at [Martin] and spit on [his] left shoulder. Sommer then walked eastbound onto D Street Northwest and yelled, &#8216;You are a disgusting man. F*** you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served,&#8221; court papers said.</p>
<p>Investigators found that Sommer used an X account in her name, @EmilyGabriellaS, to continue to take credit for the assault. Hours afterwards, she began replying to Martin&#8217;s tweets.</p>
<p>Under a message that said &#8220;Make D.C. Safe Again,&#8221; touting the prosecution of a man who shot a five-year old, she wrote, &#8220;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. I only apologize that this city left me so dehydrated and unable to get water that I couldn&#8217;t produce more to stain and drip down your face.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sommer, a graduate of the University of Southern California, is represented by a public defender.</p>
