Woman arrested, charged in spit incident on Trump's interim U.S. Attorney

The woman caught on camera spitting on the former U.S. Attorney for Washington was arrested Thursday.

Emily Gabriella Sommer, 32, was identified by authorities as the woman who spit on Ed Martin, who had been interim U.S. attorney for D.C. under President Trump before being replaced by Jeanine Pirro.

Ms. Sommer was arrested Thursday in the spitting incident, which was caught during a video interview Mr. Martin was conducting with Newsmax earlier this month.

Ms. Sommer is charged with assaulting, impeding and obstructing a government official.

The incident took place in front of the U.S. Attorney’s office at the 600 block of D Street Northwest on May 8, according to court records.

The press release stated Ms. Sommer approached Mr. Martin and said, “Who in the f— are you?”

“Are you Ed Martin? You are. Ed Martin,” she then spit on his shoulder.

Sommer yelled at him, “You are a disgusting man. F—- you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served,” according to authorities.

The press release also said Ms. Sommer also used an X account with the name “Lefttits” and commented on Mr. Martin’s posts.

“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’t produce more to stain and drip down your face,” one post read.
