The woman accused of spitting on former acting U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Ed Martin appears to be headed for a guilty plea.

Court records show a change of plea hearing for Emily Gabriella Sommer, 33, is set for Thursday afternoon before U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb. Sommer had pleaded not guilty to all charges on July 30.

The hearing will come after Sommer stated her intention in court on Tuesday to plead guilty to three counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer, according to Jordan Fischer of CBS affiliate WUSA.

Sommer was arrested on May 22 for allegedly spitting on Martin two weeks earlier while he was being interviewed in front of the U.S. Attorney”s Office in Washington, D.C.

“Are you Ed Martin?” Sommer asked, according to an affidavit accompanying an announcement of the charge against her. “You are. Ed Martin,” she allegedly added before lunging at him and spitting on his left shoulder.

“You are a disgusting man. F— you, Ed Martin,” the woman is said to have stated next. “My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served.”

Sommer made her first court appearance on May 22, and it reportedly did not go smoothly. According to the local D.C. outlet, she became “agitated” when she learned prosecutors would seek a more serious assault charge that could send her to prison for up to eight years. She allegedly spat on and kicked two U.S. marshals while being removed from the courtroom, earning her two additional assault charges outlined in a superseding indictment.

Her situation became even more complicated in June.

The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) argued in a court filing that Sommer had broken the conditions of her release by targeting Martin on social media – in comments such as “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.” These posts also tagged Martin’s account.

Days later, Sommer was arrested at her Washington, D.C., apartment building for allegedly defacing her neighbor’s property, Law&Crime previously reported. The suspect spray-painted the neighbor’s front door with the neighbor’s name followed by the word “Spy,” according to police, and she is believed to have also “attack[ed]” the neighbor’s door with “a metal rod.”

Sommer was placed in police custody in June and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation. That case is ongoing, according to court records, which state her lawyers are negotiating a global plea deal that would settle all of her charges.

Martin has been a controversial figure in Washington, D.C. He has insinuated that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and fired prosecutors and FBI investigators who worked on Jan. 6 insurrection cases, among other things.

More than 100 former prosecutors in April voiced their opposition to Martin’s nomination to be the permanent U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, calling him an “egregiously unqualified political hack who has never served either as a prosecutor or judge.”

On May 8, the same day Martin was spat on, President Donald Trump pulled Martin’s nomination, likely seeing that he did not have the requisite Senate support to be confirmed. Jeanine Pirro of Fox News fame has since stepped in as the acting U.S. attorney for D.C.

In addition to serving as the DOJ’s pardon attorney, Martin is now the director of the DOJ’s so-called “Weaponization Working Group.”
