Trump DOJ targets FBI agent who testified in Sandy Hook families' case against Alex Jones

Source: Raw Story

September 23, 2025 3:33PM ET


The Justice Department prosecutor assigned to targeting President Donald Trump's foes is now apparently going after those who testified against Alex Jones in the Sandy Hook civil case.

Jones posted a letter on X in which Ed Martin, an associate deputy attorney general, contacts a law firm in Connecticut demanding all documents related to FBI Special Agent William Aldenberg. Aldenberg was among the first few law enforcement officials to enter the classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children were shot and killed.

He was the first witness in the civil case involving right-wing podcaster Jones after he lied about the deaths of children and targeted their families.

"In that capacity, I am writing to request information from you regarding your client FBI Special Agent William Aldenberg and his role in certain litigation that may benefit him personally and that may impact our citizens and our legal system. As you may know, there are criminal laws protecting the citizens from actions by government employees who may be acting for personal benefit. I encourage you to review those," wrote Martin. Martin wanted to know if Aldenberg was paid and alleged he "led litigation and recruited other plaintiffs."

He is despicable on every level, yet he has the audacity to wear a red cap that says, "Trump was right about everything".
Not only is he mentally ill, he is depraved and totally evil.

This has to stop. Either elected officials from both parties have to say "Enough!" or we the people have to demand it.

A grotesque effort to rewrite history like they've attempted to do with J6. Genuinely despicable.
