Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin has opened a preliminary investigation into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over comments he made in 2020 that were directed at Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

The inquiry follows renewed scrutiny over Schumer’s remarks, which some viewed as a threat against the justices ahead of their ruling on Roe v. Wade.

On March 4, 2020, Schumer spoke outside the U.S. Supreme Court as justices heard arguments in a Louisiana abortion case. During his remarks, he warned Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh of consequences if they ruled against abortion rights.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” Schumer said.

The justices ultimately voted in 2022 to overturn Roe v. Wade, returning abortion laws to state jurisdiction.

Schumer later attempted to clarify his comments, claiming from the Senate floor that he had not intended to threaten the justices. He acknowledged that he “shouldn’t have used the words I did” but accused conservatives of attempting to “generate outrage” over the remarks.

An ethics complaint was filed against Schumer at the time, but no action was taken.

In a letter dated January 21, 2025, Martin confirmed that a “preliminary inquiry” had been opened into Schumer’s statements.

“We take threats against public officials very seriously. I look forward to your cooperation,” Martin wrote in the letter, which was addressed directly to Schumer.

Schumer has previously made comments suggesting political retribution against opponents.

In 2017, during the early stages of the Russia investigation, he warned that President Donald Trump was making a mistake by challenging U.S. intelligence agencies.

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer said in an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

The investigation into Schumer coincides with a major personnel shift at the Justice Department.

On Friday, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove issued a memorandum ordering the removal of several prosecutors involved in past investigations into President Trump and his allies.

“I will not tolerate subversive personnel actions by the previous administration at any U.S. Attorney’s office,” Bove stated in the memo.

Martin also issued a directive instructing officials to preserve all records related to hiring decisions concerning attorneys involved in cases tied to the January 6 Capitol protests.

He added that the guidance aligns with President Trump’s efforts to end the “weaponization of government.”

The federal inquiry into Schumer’s remarks marks a significant development in ongoing efforts to hold officials accountable for rhetoric directed at members of the judiciary.
