During a live interview with Newsmax, an unidentified woman spat on Acting D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin.

“This afternoon acting DC US Atty Ed Martin was spit on by a psychotic lib during our interview. Hope she’s ready for a nice stretch in jail,” Newsmax host Rob Schmitt said.

WATCH:

Martin is President Trump’s former nominee to become U.S. Attorney for D.C. before it became apparent that he would not receive enough Senate support for the role.

Instead, Trump nominated Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro.

The footage has already been viewed millions of times on social media, with many ripping the woman as a “crazed leftist” and “psychotic lib.”

The disgusting interaction came just hours after Trump revealed he was pulling Martin’s nomination amid bipartisan concerns about the conservative activist’s modest legal experience, divisive politics and support for Jan. 6 rioters.

“He’s a terrific person, and he wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” Trump said of Martin, whose period as acting DC US attorney will expire May 20.

Instead, the president said Martin will be tapped as an associate deputy attorney general and pardon attorney.

“Ed Martin tells me the US Marshalls do know who the woman is who spit on him yesterday during a Newsmax appearance. And if they haven’t already, they will be making an arrest. Also, she clearly ID’d him as ‘Ed Martin,’ leaving no doubt that she was targeting a federal official,” Daily Caller editor Vince Coglianese said.

The woman was reportedly arrested.

“Trump’s Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed Martin just confirmed to me that the feral leftist woman who spit on him LIVE during a Newsmax interview is being ARRESTED: ‘Yes, we got her,'” Benny Johnson said.

“Deranged leftist who was caught on video spitting on Trump’s Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed Martin has been ARRESTED. She will be charged under 18 U.S. Code § 111 and faces 20 YEARS in federal prison for knowingly assaulting a federal official,” Bongino Report wrote.
