In May, the Justice Department charged the unhinged woman who spat on DOJ official Ed Martin.
The woman, identified as Emily Gabriella Sommer, was charged with violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111 (Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and employees of the United States).
In June, the DOJ asked the Court to detain Emily Sommer pending trial because she threatened Ed Martin and Jeannine Pirro in a series of X posts.
Emily Sommer was put in a DC jail after threatening a neighbor with a crowbar. She also physically attacked US Marshals after being removed from the courtroom in May.
“Sommer became agitated during her initial appearance in court on May 22 upon learning the prosecutor’s office intended to seek a more serious version of the assault charge that requires forcible contact and carries a maximum sentence of up to 8 years in prison. While in holding after being removed from the courtroom, Sommer allegedly spit and kicked on two U.S. Marshals. A second superseding indictment was filed in June with two additional assault counts for the incident,” WUSA 9 reported.
Sommer pleaded guilty to three counts of assault for spitting on Ed Martin and assaulting US Marshals. The sentencing is set for October.
NOW: Emily Sommer pleaded guilty today to 3 counts of assault for spitting on former interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin and kicking/spitting on two U.S. Marshals.

Sommer spat on then-Acting DC US Attorney Ed Martin earlier this year while he was interviewing with Newsmax.
“We need to stay focused,” Ed Martin said during an interview with Newsmax when he was interrupted by a leftist protester who approached him.
Ed Martin backed up as the woman became aggressive and spat on him.
“Whoa!” Ed Martin said.
“You’re a disgusting man!” the woman said as she walked away with her dog in tow.
In the uncensored version, the woman is heard screaming, “who the f*ck are you?! You are Ed Martin!” before spitting on him.

In a previous court filing, the DOJ said additional assault charges and a stalking charge would be added because of Sommer’s threats to Ed Martin and Jeanine Pirro.
The DOJ filing argued that Emily Sommer’s X posts threatening Ed Martin and Judge Pirro violated her probation.
@EagleEdMartin you mad, bro? You got fired, and then caught a loogie to the shoulder. I don’t think that makes you any sort of “active” official. You’re in the wrong court, you red-nose Rudolph stumbling bumbling alcoholic. You have quite literally no brain. Come at me dawg,…
