The Doj official ordered an investigation to the FBI agent who continued Alex Jones: Sources
Ed Martin, a senior Doj official and director of the working group on the armament of the Ministry of Justice, withdrew his request from a lawyer for an FBI retirement agent on Wednesday who was among the first to respond to the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School who suggested that the agent could be under a criminal investigation for having testified during the Conspiracy TheSt and Instal welcomed Alex Jones.
Martin’s decision to withdraw his letter reached after a warning from manager No. 2 of the Ministry of Justice, ADD BLANC, a person familiar with the case. Blanche ordered Martin to cancel his letter to Mattei on Wednesday after having increased the backlash after Jones made public his X account on Tuesday.
“Dear Monsieur,” said Martin in the letter Wednesday to Christopher Mattei, the lawyer for the FBI agent William Aldenberg. “For the moment, I write to inform you that there is no investigation into you or your customer. Because of this, I withdraw by this my request for information from you or your former customer.”
The reversal came a day after Jones published a copy of the letter that Martin had sent to Mattei requesting a series of responses on the involvement of Aldenberg in the trial which led to a judgment of $ 1.4 billion against Jones.
“I write to you to ask you for information concerning your special FBI customer client William Aldenberg and his role in certain disputes that may benefit him personally and who may have an impact on our citizens and our legal system,” wrote Martin in the initial letter. “As you may know, there are criminal laws protecting citizens from the actions of government employees who can act for personal benefit. I encourage you to review them.”
Jones had already published a photo On September 12 of him standing next to Martin, three days before sending Martin’s letter to Mattei.
In a statement to ABC News on Tuesday, Mattei exploded Martin about the letter describing him as the last stage of Jones’ harassment campaign targeting Aldenberg and Sandy Hook families.

“Thanks to the courage of Sandy Hook families, Infowars will be over soon,” said Mattei. “In his latest dressings, Jones harass them again, only now with the corrupt complicity of at least an official of Doj. It is as disgusting as pathetic, and we will not defend it.”
Jones has already been ordered to pay Aldenberg $ 90 million resulting from the defamation pursuit that he and the families of the hooked sand victims brought against Jones for harassment and threats that they suffered as a result of the tragedy following theories of the conspiracy stifled by Jones.
At the trial, Aldenberg is in tears by describing to be one of the first to arrive at the scene and to enter the classrooms where 20 children had been killed.
Aldenberg then testified to the years of threats and harassment that he was forced to support people who joined Jones’ theories on the set of an event staged to strip people of their 2nd Modification rights.
Among the questions posed by Martin to the lawyers of Aldenberg, there was to know if Aldenberg revealed “any financial advantage which could accumulate him when he directed a dispute and recruits other applicants?” He also asked if Aldenberg clearly indicated that his testimony to the Jones trial was “in his personal title” if he reported “questions in his work to protect himself and the others against conflicts”.
Martin had asked Mattei to issue an official response before September 29.
During his previous mandate as an American acting prosecutor of Washington, DC, before his appointment was drawn due to the lack of republican support, Martin sent a series of letters similar to high -level democrats and other opponents of the president suggesting that he had launched similar investigations.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice did not answer questions as to whether the prosecutor General Pam Bondi or other managers of the department were aware of Martin’s investigation in Mattei and if they had ordered him to cancel his letter.
