Shrimp Doughnuts and Everything Bagel-Crusted Spring Rolls? At This Thai Restaurant, It's a Yes.
When Jeanine and Kate Royce, partners in business and life, first signed the lease on this space at 238 W. 56th Street and Eighth Avenue, on the border of Hell's Kitchen and Midtown West, they didn't exactly know what they would do with it — other than serve Thai food. The couple had already owned and operated a Thai place up in East Harlem; they are connected to the city's Thai community; they had a name all set, BKK New York (the airport code for Bangkok); and they quickly signed on an experienced Thai chef for the project, Teerawong 'Yo' Nanthavatsiri, previously owned the (now-closed) restaurant Pinto in the West Village for a decade. It wasn't until Yo clocked all the food carts in Midtown that the final concept for the menu clicked into place. Basically: Spin a bumping NYC remix to the Bangkok street food favorites of his youth. It's the latest entry in a wider trend of New Yorkified Thai food that's emerged over the past couple of years, beginning with Little Grenjai's smash burger in 2023, followed by a Thai burger stand from Zaab Zaab, and the pop-up Tawan last year. The design and welcoming spirit of BKK New York amplify the street party vibe, with private dining partitions that evoke corrugated steel panels of Bangkok's dining shacks. The facade opens to bar chatter while uptempo pop spills onto the street. For seventy years, this address was home to Fuji Sushi, an office-worker staple that was one of the very first sushi restaurants in the city. But with all the huge new residential towers on the block, BKK New York seems poised to become a neighborhood go-to for locals as well. The prices are doable (for 2025), the menu is filled with big-flavored crowd-pleasers, and the lively atmosphere feels right for just about any occasion. So go! And when you do, here's what you should get. There are a bunch of familiar, traditionally prepared Thai dishes on the menu (including, yes, a shrimp pad Thai for $26, and a chicken pad see ew for $22), but most of the fun at BKK New York happens in the remixes. My favorite thing I've eaten here is the brisket sandwich dip ($26), a beefy beast with melted American cheese, spicy Thai mayo, and a rich broth for dunking. Jeanine told Eater that it was 'inspired by nam tok, a Thai soup my wife Kate loves.' If I lived in that luxury high-rise across the street (lol), I'd pop by all the time for one of these beauties. Another satisfying solo dining option, perhaps while perched at the bar knocking back an $18 pandan paradise rum cocktail, is Yo's BKK hot dog (also $18), a fat, porky Chiang Mai sausage served on a brioche bun with both pickled vegetables and two kinds of fries —those green chive-y one are excellent — on the side. Or maybe go the more traditional Thai route for your solo adventure? The difficult-to-share mama tom yum ($28) is a big soupy bowl of instant noodles absolutely loaded with charred shrimp, slabs of sweet, crispy pork, meaty mushrooms, and a raw egg thrown in for luck, all swimming in a fiery orange broth. Chef Yo told us that this dish is everywhere in Bangkok — and it's delicious. Dinner for two Split the above sandwiches, and tack on a trio of Yo's terrific 'doughnuts' ($18), made from a blend of shrimp, chicken, and pork, densely packed and pressed into a doughnut shape, fried until the exterior gets a nice crunch, sprinkled with salted egg yolk, and served with a tangy dipping sauce. The oversized fried chicken skin chips ($12) are good, too. If sandwiches seem too casual for whatever you've got going on that night, the wagyu kra pow ($32) feels both fancy and fun, a jumbo beef patty plopped atop a mound of sticky jasmine rice, plenty of Thai basil, garlic, and chiles bringing some pep to the party, the whole thing served in a hot stone bowl and mixed tableside. The goong koe rae ($32), a half dozen shrimp drowning in a sweet and spicy red curry sauce, also adds a sense of occasion to your meal. Dinner for three, four, or more BKK New York's unique spring rolls, which come wrapped in an 'everything bagel crust' ($12), make for an enjoyable addition to the meal for larger parties. And though the pork-two-ways kao moo deng moo krob skewed too sweet for my tastes, Yo is a big fan of the dish. 'Every single Thai person that eats here says this is the best version they've ever had,' he said. 'It tastes like home, and not many places serve it.' Either dessert — mango sticky rice, or coconut ice cream — will make you happy. So do what we did and just get both. Sign up for our newsletter.

Blame Man United for their mess and stupid rules just letting them rot
Towards the end of the film This Is Spinal Tap, the band is forced to play much-diminished venues. Lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel has quit, along with manager Ian Faith, and the tour is being run by ambitious Jeanine, girlfriend of lead singer and rhythm guitarist David St Hubbins and a devotee of yoga and astrology. They arrive at the next location to see the billing 'Puppet show' with, beneath it, 'and Spinal Tap'. 'If I told them once I told them a hundred times,' says Jeanine, 'put Spinal Tap first and puppet show last'. The group look crushed. 'You got the big dressing room, though,' Jeanine says, brightening. 'Oh, we've got a bigger dressing room than the puppets, have we?' replies David. This is the point Manchester United are reaching, after their blasted tour of Asia. It can't be far off now: puppet show, and United. If there was a documentary of this trip, it would play out as a series of comic vignettes, like Spinal Tap. There was an open-top bus parade preceding a defeat by a scratch representative XI, at the end of which they were booed off; Amad Diallo gave the finger to some fans he believed had disrespected his mother; three squad members flew a further 4,000 miles to make a corporate appearance in Mumbai for a tyre company; Alejandro Garnacho was required to sign autographs for supporters and then play, having already been told by his manager to find another club; he was later captured pushing fans away and looking furious. 'Everybody's fuming,' reported The Times yesterday. That fans ended up paying for United's players to tour Kuala Lumpur on e-scooters because they couldn't get them to work, seemed to sum up the whole shambolic exercise. What is it all worth? In the region of £8 million. It doesn't even cover the £10 million hit United have taken on their Adidas contract having again failed to reach the Champions League. That a club run by billionaires — plural — is forced to prostitute itself in this way shows the shameful state it is in. Comical to their detractors, pitiful to those who remember what they were and what they used to represent. Us — it used to represent us, the power, success and prestige of the Premier League. But we'll get to that. The bottom line is this is United's doing. The club has been poorly run and it has caught up with them. Mismanagement, weak executive leadership, flawed recruitment, inconsistency in managerial appointments, United have committed all of football's cardinal sins. They deserve no better than to be where they are. What they do not deserve, however, what no club deserves, is to be afforded no way back. And this is where the involvement of the Premier League is significant. In the modern world of sports business, how do you take a club that is a worldwide brand leader, among the most recognisable names on the planet, and allow it to rot, to become a laughing stock, a byword for failure and incompetence? Not that United should be artificially promoted or propelled, not that there hasn't been ineptitude on an epic scale, but no club should be corralled by regulations that see impoverishment where there is none, trapping them in this puppet-show purgatory. United are in Asia for the same reason they are sacking minions, turfing fans out of seats they have occupied for decades and — heaven forbid — contemplating Al-Hilal's interest in Bruno Fernandes. To try to make the numbers add up. Yet these numbers are artificial. They are an invention. They were fake when United and other elite clubs campaigned for them, and they are fake now. United are not poor. United have been reduced by the rules they — and the rest of the elite — once hoped would stop that top table becoming too crowded. On one hand, it would take a heart of stone not to laugh. On the other, it is incredible the many ways the Premier League finds to undermine its product. Could you imagine Major League Baseball allowing the New York Yankees to be stuck like this? It is not that United shouldn't fail. They failed for many years before the Premier League came along and for many years after Sir Alex Ferguson left, and that's fine, that's healthy. What isn't positive is that clubs can't make mistakes anymore. Let's say Liverpool do break the Premier League record, substantially, for Florian Wirtz. That they are forced higher than Friday's £109.4 million bid. What if that doesn't work out? As long as they have the money why shouldn't they try again? Buying Wirtz isn't a bad thing. Liverpool are trying to improve their team, but also the quality of the Premier League as a result. Yet now clubs are anchored to their mistakes. United have wasted fortunes. From Antony to Ángel Di María each recruit was intended to make them better and, in turn, improve the league. Should any club be punished for that? Is it healthy that selling Fernandes, one of the most watchable players in English football, may be their only way out? Sirens should sound if Fernandes goes. He would be an enormous loss to the club and the competition, and is still in his prime at 30. Richard Masters, the league's chief executive, insists he is very relaxed about the threat of Saudi Arabia. He's asleep at the wheel, if so. Last weekend Match of the Day held its goal-of-the-season competition, whittled down to six finalists. The first entry was scored by Jhon Durán, once of Aston Villa, now with Al-Nassr. Harry Kane's understudy at England, Ivan Toney, is in Saudi Arabia too, with Al-Ahli. If the captain of United departs now it will be like the ravens leaving the tower, certainly for United. Whoever arrives to play in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 system, Fernandes's loss would make the whole weaker. Yes, he would be mad to move to a comparative backwater, rather than see what United could achieve with Amorim and better planning. Fernandes deserves a good team around him. He scored 19 goals and got 20 assists across all competitions last season. What would he be like with the chance to feed a top-class goalscorer? Yet this is already the longest United have gone without Champions League football in the Premier League era and, even with the financial headroom from selling Fernandes, the way back would be daunting. It would also be a game changer for English football. Is this what we do now? Pass raft after raft of regulations until clubs bleed out? Like Leicester City. Theirs was a narrative reverberating around the globe, without doubt they improved the Premier League's standing. Now Leicester are pursued into the leagues below such is the desire for vengeance having made mistakes. Think of the most positive stories this year and the clubs involved — Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Bournemouth — all have endured skirmishes and more over financial regulation in recent years. Is this making English football more attractive? As it continues to leak talent to foreign leagues, from Kane to Toney to Michael Olise or Dean Huijsen, it does not look it. Back to the puppet show. Ed Woodward, the former executive vice-chairman, made a lot of mistakes at United and recruitment was poor on his watch but, given his commercial background, he also saw where the club sat in the firmament. Woodward viewed United as England's first club — like Bayern Munich in Germany, or Real Madrid in Spain — and, as such, believed it was almost their duty to compete for marquee players. And that might be the height of arrogance, and certainly contributed to the recent decline — too many headline makers, not enough thought — but it is a view that would not have settled for Rasmus Hojlund if there was hope of recruiting Kane. The summer when it was decided nobody at Old Trafford had the wit, ambition or funds to go up against Daniel Levy in those negotiations, is the moment United changed. The club ran scared and has not recovered since. One lousy decision follows another. The reward for reaching the Europa League final is roughly £5 million but United must hand £3.5 million of that to Chelsea because Mason Mount started, and the fee is part of the bonus package attached to his £55 million transfer. The decision to start Mount — sadly ineffectual on the night — also led to the complete collapse of Amorim's relationship with Garnacho. The gifts keep on giving. Woodward's greatest error was thinking United had conquered the world and were so big success no longer mattered. The foreign market is fickle. The further we get from these shores the less we understand the motivations of fans. Woodward frequently boasted of United's global contingent, yet that support turned very quickly in defeat to the Asean All-Stars. United's first visit to Hong Kong since 2013 did not sell out, whereas recent games involving Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have, and swiftly. United, without a title in 12 years, are losing the teenage and twentysomething market abroad as they gravitate towards the winners in their youth. Manchester City now have an Asian presence that would be unheard of in Ferguson's time; Chelsea, too. Football evolves and United, of course, have no right to success. It is a fallacy that clubs like Sunderland or Leeds United get back to 'where they belong'. Every club belongs where it is because it has made decisions, good and bad, that have put it there. Yet clubs also deserve the right to risk, to make a mistake, to try, to have another go, to recover as quickly as they can. That is what is wrong with this system. United should have ended their dreadful campaign and gone away to rethink, regroup and return stronger. They should have long been working to assemble a squad capable of playing Amorim's game. And that costs money. But United have money — because they're Manchester United. Although not on this tour, it would seem. Tonight, and for the foreseeable future Matthew, they're going to be Spinal Tap. Newcastle recruitment supremo recruited no one — but Howe will miss him Newcastle United did not miss out on Liam Delap because they were without sporting director Paul Mitchell. Delap to Newcastle was always going to be a hard sell. He's 22 and if he wanted to be a reserve could have stayed at Manchester City. That he first took a chance on Ipswich Town shows his ambition. The low fee was a complication, too. Yes, it made Delap affordable to all, but it also reduced the imperative to make him a first-team starter. An £80 million signing has to play; one for less than half that carries an understudy's price. So Chelsea are perfect for Delap because they need a starter. Christopher Nkunku is going, Marc Guiu is still learning and while Nicolas Jackson has forged a good partnership with Cole Palmer, as the Conference League final demonstrated, he needs too many chances to score. Newcastle could only offer Delap a place shadowing Alexander Isak, which was never going to be enough. It means Mitchell, whose job was described as 90 per cent recruitment by chief executive Darren Eales, and who initially appeared to have an uneasy relationship with manager Eddie Howe, will have left without recruiting a single player. Yet Howe still won't be pleased to see him go. Newcastle now enter a third consecutive summer transfer window without a recognised director of football. Given the complications around Sandro Tonali, the last player signed in a summer window to go straight into the first team was Isak. He joined on August 26, 2022, and made his debut five days later, opening the scoring against Liverpool. Mitchell will have plans in place but his sudden absence does not suggest stability to any player with Delap's options. Newcastle's rivals are moving fast. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, even Manchester United are in advanced negotiations. Newcastle were left behind last summer when Mitchell bungled a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi with a succession of low-ball bids. Newcastle want Guéhi still, as do Tottenham Hotspur who can offer Champions League football, but might this upheaval place them at a disadvantage? It was a great season for Newcastle, winning a first domestic trophy in 70 years, but also a lucky one. Never before has fifth place provided guaranteed entry to the Champions League. So while Howe has done an outstanding job, he most definitely needs assistance maintaining this trajectory. Mitchell leaves having achieved next to nothing. That doesn't mean he won't be missed. 92.89 million reasons why Real wanted Alexander-Arnold now Carlo Ancelotti didn't think much of the Club World Cup. Had he remained as Real Madrid manager he would have put rest and relaxation for the players after a long and difficult season up there with winning it. That the club have paid Liverpool £10 million to secure Trent Alexander-Arnold's availability, and have engaged coach Xabi Alonso already, suggests they now intend taking it very seriously indeed. Alonso will certainly be in it to win it, keen to make the best possible start, and Real Madrid will want to dominate this expanded competition with its boast of being world champions, the way they dominated the early years of the European Cup. Then there is the money — £92.89 million for the winners. That Real believe it is worth gambling 10.76 per cent of that jackpot to win it shows how highly Alexander-Arnold is regarded by his new club. Given the wages he saved Liverpool running down his old contract, the money on recruitment saved by a player coming through the ranks, and this unexpected windfall, the boos directed at Alexander-Arnold now seem as misguided as they were discourteous. Time for Chelsea's gilded youth to deliver more It has been stated here recently there are many ways of assessing experience in football, and age is certainly one. That Chelsea became the first team to win a European final without fielding a player over the age of 26 is certainly impressive. The repeated insistence that this is a young group overachieving, however, is rather enhanced. This is a very expensively assembled squad of immense promise and talent, who have played many games and experienced many successes. Including subs, the players Chelsea fielded against Real Betis have been involved in 2,994 matches, and made 202 senior international appearances. As for medals, where do you wish to start? World Cup, European Championship, Copa America, Champions League (2), Europa League, Copa Sudamericana, Recopa Sudamericana, Fifa Club World Cup (2), Uefa Super Cup (3), Premier League, Portugal Primeira Liga, Argentina Primera División, FA Cup (2), EFL Cup, Copa Del Rey, Coppa Italia, Dutch Cup, German Cup, FA Community Shield, German Super Cup, Dutch Super Cup, Argentina Super Cup. Of course, not every medal came with a starring role. Cole Palmer has a Champions League winner's medal from 2022-23, but didn't kick a ball in the campaign for Manchester City after starting against Sevilla on November 2. Even so, he was in and around it all. He wouldn't have been wide-eyed in Wroclaw and, if he was, he certainly didn't play like it. Enzo Maresca rounded on the club's critics at the end of a successful league campaign but he, more than anyone, had played down their chances all season. He isn't alone among managers in doing that but he cannot get away with it next season. There will be a level of expectation around Chelsea after this campaign. They are youthful, but far from innocent, and will be expected to be in the mix.

Watch live: Trump holds swear-in ceremony for Jeanine Pirro, DC's interim top prosecutor
President Trump on Wednesday afternoon will hold a swearing-in ceremony for Jeanine Pirro, who was tapped to serve as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. 'Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York,' the president wrote on Truth Social earlier this month. 'She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!' It would require Senate confirmation for the former TV judge and Fox News host to hold the position permanently. Pirro was named to the role by Trump after the White House pulled the nomination for Ed Martin, who faced an uphill battle for confirmation. Martin was instead reassigned to serve as a pardon attorney and director of the newly created Weaponization Working Group at the Justice Department. The White House ceremony is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. EDT. Watch the live video above.

Who Is Jeanine Pirro's Ex-Husband? All About Albert Pirro, Who Was Pardoned by Trump
Jeanine Pirro was married to Albert Pirro for nearly 40 years before their 2013 divorce. The Fox News personality and the lawyer were a political power couple until he was convicted on 34 counts of conspiracy and tax evasion in 2000, per The New York Times. However, in one of President Donald Trump's final acts during his first term, he pardoned Albert in 2021. Albert has since returned to practicing law in New York, while Trump appointed Jeanine the interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., on May 8. 'During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime,' the president wrote in his Truth Social announcement. 'Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself.' Prior to her most recent role, Jeanine was the Republican district attorney of Westchester County, N.Y., from 1994 to 2005 and tried to become one of New York's senators and the New York attorney general, but she lost to Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo, respectively. She then transitioned her career to become a Fox News personality and hosted Justice with Judge Jeanine and later, The Five. In the midst of Jeanine's political career, she was separating from Albert in 2007 after he was exposed for having a child with another woman. The former couple share daughter Christi and son Alexander. So, who is Jeanine Pirro's ex-husband? Here's everything to know about Albert Pirro and his relationship with the political figure. Albert Pirro is a practicing attorney and a partner at Abrams Fensterman, LLP, in White Plains, N.Y. "Mr. Pirro is a result driven, commercial, transactional land use and zoning attorney with forty-five years in private practice representing businesses and real property organizations," his biography on the firm's website reads. Albert received his law degree from Albany Law School in 1974 after getting his master's degree in Criminal Justice from SUNY Albany in 1971 and his bachelor's degree in psychology from St. Bonaventure University in 1969. In addition to being a lawyer, he also worked as a registered lobbyist in New York and Washington, D.C., in the 1990s. Pirro's law license was initially suspended in 2003 after his arrest, but he was readmitted to practice law in New York in January 2007. After his law license was reinstated, he told The New York Times in a statement, "This has been a humbling experience. And I'm grateful to be given the opportunity to practice law again in New York State.' Albert and Jeanine met while they were both getting their law degrees at Albany Law School in the 1970s, according to a 1997 story in The New York Times. "She was effervescent," Albert told the publication of their meeting. "She was brilliant. There was an aura of leadership about her, and she had tight jeans and long black hair." Jeanine also had fond memories from the time and said, "I'll tell you something. When I met Al, he was the most exciting person I knew: quick, bright, always doing, very much an activist." They went on to get married in 1975 and welcomed two children together. "You can't find a more supportive man or a more loving husband," she told the publication. "I'm very lucky. He understands the demands on my time. He helps out with the kids. I understand the demands on his time. We have been married 20 years. Ultimately that's a feat in itself." Albert was convicted on 34 counts of conspiracy and tax evasion in June 2000. In November, he was sentenced to 29 months in federal prison for illegally deducting $1.2 million of his personal expenses as business write-offs. The judge who sentenced Albert, Judge Barrington D. Parker Jr., described the write-offs as a "mad pursuit of some American dream, with the cars, the vacation homes, the paintings," according to The New York Times. ''You somehow lost your bearings and you lost your perspective, and I sense that's what led you to cheat on your taxes,'' Judge Parker said. ''The things that you worked so hard to buy were the things that your friends really didn't care about.'' Prior to his sentencing, Albert took responsibility for his actions and apologized to Jeanine and their two children. "I clearly did not fulfill my responsibilities to make a diligent enough effort to disclose my tax returns," he said at the time. "To my wife, Jeanine, I would like to publicly apologize for the difficulties which I have imposed upon her in carrying out her professional aspirations, as well as tarnishing her stellar record.'' In a separate statement, Jeanine told reporters outside the courthouse after the sentencing, "This has been a terrible ordeal for my family, my children." Albert reported to a minimum-security prison camp at Elgin, Fla., in December 2000. His sentence was later reduced for good behavior, and he was released after 11 months in November 2001. In January 2021, President Donald Trump pardoned Albert following his 2000 conviction for conspiracy and tax evasion. Trump issued the pardon as one of his final acts at the end of his first presidency. Albert's pardon was among the 143 total pardons or sentence commutations Trump passed down for convicted criminals in the last hours of his first term. Prior to the pardon, Trump and Albert developed a friendship and worked together for years, according to The Journal News. Albert was one of Trump's lead real estate lawyers who fought for his development land in the 1990s. He even helped the real estate mogul secure the land for his Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. "Al has a good sense of the law and what's practical and a lot of common sense," Trump told The New York Times in 1997. "There are a lot of good lawyers with no common sense." In 1996, the future president hosted a campaign fundraising masquerade ball for Jeanine at his Seven Springs estate in Bedford and North Castle, N.Y., according to The New York Times. After Albert was convicted in 2000, Trump maintained his friendship with Jeanine. When her political career reportedly took a hit from her then-husband's crimes, Jeanine began working with Fox News, where she advocated for Trump, starting with his 2016 presidential campaign. Albert and Jeanine announced in 2007 that they were separating after 32 years of marriage. 'We have agreed to amicably separate,' the couple said in a joint statement at the time, according to the New York Daily News. 'As always, our priority remains our two wonderful children. We ask that people respect our privacy." One year before they announced their separation, Albert was accused of having an affair with another woman. He described the woman as a close friend but denied that anything sexual had happened between them. At the time, Jeanine was investigated for allegedly trying to record her husband in the act of infidelity, per CBS News. "There's no harm in having a female friend. I think there's a difference between being charming and holding yourself out as being available," he told New York Magazine in October 2006. At the same time, Albert also criticized his wife for her busy work schedule as she was campaigning for New York Attorney General against Cuomo in 2006. "Do I think that I would like to have more attention at home?" he asked in the 2006 story. "Yeah. And, you know, if you're not going to get attention at home, I think you really need to make some decisions about your future." "She's out campaigning. I'm asleep by the time she gets home or I'm reading," he added. "And I don't think that eleven o'clock at night is the time to sit down and talk about these things. You'd never sleep." The former couple officially divorced in 2013. Before getting divorced in 2013, Albert and Jeanine welcomed two children together: daughter Christi Pirro and son Alexander Pirro. Jeanine appears to be close with both of their children and frequently posts photos with them from weddings, political events and personal celebrations. While Albert denied having an affair at the end of his marriage to Jeanine, earlier on, he was found to be the father of a child outside of their relationship. Albert fathered a daughter, Jaclyn Marciano, with Jessica Hutchison in 1983. He initially denied the news, but a court-ordered DNA test confirmed that he was the father in 1998, and he was subsequently ordered to pay child support. In 2005, Marciano told The New York Times that they met for the first time when he and her mother were battling it out in court. However, she said that they started getting closer after she had children of her own. Albert agreed with his daughter and told the publication that he was "extremely grateful" that both he and his family had "worked through the issue." Read the original article on People

Trump picks Fox News host Jeanine Pirro for interim DC US Attorney
President Trump went to the Fox News well once again to fill out his administration Thursday, picking 'The Five' co-host Jeanine Pirro to serve as interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia. 'Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'She is in a class by herself.' 'Congratulations Jeanine!' Earlier Thursday, Trump pulled the nomination of Ed Martin to serve as the capital's top federal prosecutor after Senate Republicans balked at the choice '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 was set to expire May 20. 'I can only lift that little phone so many times in a day, but we have somebody else that will be great,' he added. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
