The interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., demoted multiple senior-level officials in his office Friday who had previously overseen some of the most high-profile Jan. 6 prosecutions, as well as criminal cases against allies of Trump, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
At least seven attorneys were informed by interim U.S. attorney Ed Martin of their demotions Friday morning to line positions dealing with matters like misdemeanor crimes and other lower-level issues, the sources said.
Among the attorneys impacted was John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, supervisory-level attorneys who led the criminal contempt of Congress prosecutions of Trump allies Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.
Kathryn Rakoczy, one of the lead attorneys who prosecuted members of the Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy for their roles in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, was also informed of her demotion -- as was Jason McCullough, who served on the team that prosecuted members of the Proud Boys including leader Enrique Tarrio.
