DOJ Nominee Threatens Wikipedia’s Nonprofit Status

April 25, 2025 Extremists, Trump cultists

The Free Press reports:

Ed Martin, the firebrand Republican activist whom President Donald Trump picked to be the top prosecutor in D.C., has a new target: Wikipedia.

Martin, the interim U.S. attorney in Washington and Trump’s permanent selection to serve in that role, sent a letter on Thursday afternoon to the Wikimedia Foundation that alleged it “is engaging in a series of activities that could violate its obligations” under 501(c)(3), a section of the IRS code for charities. It is Wikipedia’s parent group.

The letter, which was obtained by The Free Press, accused the largest online encyclopedia of “allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public.” The Wikimedia Foundation, Martin said, is directed by a board “that is composed primarily of foreign nationals” who are “subverting the interests of American taxpayers.”

Yesterday Martin, a prominent “Stop The Steal” organizer, laughably claimed that he never knew that the Hitler-mustached convicted Capitol rioter that he has praised is a Nazi.

Last week Martin was exposed for having appeared on Kremlin state media over 150 times without revealing that pesky fact to the Senate, where he will soon face a confirmation hearing.
