October 2, 2025 – Ed Martin is investigating Andrew Weissmann who has until October 7 to turn over info on Odebrecht plea from 2016

In Email/Dossier/Govt Corruption Investigations by Katie Weddington

Investigative reporter Catherine Herridge reported on Wednesday night that the Director of the DOJ Weaponization Working Group is giving Andrew Weissmann until October 7th, or next Tuesday, to provide answers and records about the Odebrecht Plea, a 2016 plea agreement described by the Justice Department as the “Largest Foreign Bribery Case in History.”

Ed Martin, the US Pardon Attorney, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Director of the Weaponization Working Group sent this request to Weissmann on September 24, 2025.

According to Ed Martin, the Odebrecht Plea “diverged from what the Department did in other, closely contemporaneous matters that you (Weissmann) supervised.”

Maybe, after decades of destroying innocent lives and political prosecutions, Weissmann will finally be held accountable for his actions.

Herridge posted this tweet on Wednesday night:

“Director DOJ Weaponization Working Group sets October 7 deadline for Andrew Weissmann to provide answers and records about a 2016 plea agreement described @TheJusticeDept as the “Largest Foreign Bribery Case in History.”

The 2016 Odebrecht Plea “diverged from what the Department did in other, closely contemporaneous matters, that you (Weissmann) supervised.”

Weissmann did not respond to questions about his compliance with the deadline, DOJ requirements for disclosing potential conflicts of interest and apparent irregularities in the plea that have reportedly frustrated victim efforts to seek restitution.

Additional parties were also copied on my request for comment.”

Andrew Weissmann led the Mueller sham special investigation against President Trump. He later became a top Deep State player behind DA Bragg’s bogus Manhattan case against President Trump.

Many believe the Mueller gang was led by Andrew Weissmann. According to Joe Hoft, this gang deviated from standard practices or committed crimes over 100 times in their attempted coup against President Trump. Again, Weissmann was a key member in this gang.

Andrew Weissmann was and is the face of DOJ corruption.

ED MARTIN IS INVESTIGATING ANDREW WEISSMANN

Weissmann has until October 7 to respond about his role in the Odebrecht scandal.

The Odebrecht scandal was a massive international bribery scheme. The DOJ’s 2016 plea deal (which Weissmann oversaw) is now being re-examined because it shielded Odebrecht from having to pay back victims in countries like Peru. Trump’s DOJ task force is pressing Weissmann to explain why — and whether this was an abuse of authority.

What Was the Odebrecht Scandal?

Odebrecht S.A., a Brazilian construction conglomerate, was at the center the largest corruption investigation in Latin American history.

Odebrecht paid around $788 million in bribes to politicians, officials, and parties across 12 countries to secure contracts.

The bribes distorted government tenders and saddled countries with overpriced infrastructure projects.

In 2016, Odebrecht signed a plea deal with the DOJ, Brazil, and Switzerland paying $3.5 billion in fines.

Why Is the DOJ Letter Questioning It?

The letter from Edward Martin points out that in other corruption cases from the same period (Embraer, OZ Africa, Glencore), the DOJ preserved detailed project-level information, identified specific victims, and ensured restitution. In the 2016 Odebrecht plea, the DOJ aggregated facts by country and left out specifics like the Rutas de Lima project.

The consequence is that victims were erased from the official record.
In Peru, taxpayers remain liable for billions in corrupt project costs because restitution wasn’t written into the plea. Meanwhile, U.S. court filings in similar cases gave restitution to victims.
It looks like the DOJ let Odebrecht off easier than others.

Why Is Weissmann Being Asked Now?

Andrew Weissmann supervised the Fraud Section at DOJ during 2016. He was one of the architects of the Odebrecht plea deal.
Edward Martin, under Trump’s EO 14147, is investigating whether this was an “abuse of government authority”

Ed Martin is essentially asking Weissmann:
“Why did you (and your team) make decisions in Odebrecht that went against DOJ’s own guidance and hurt foreign victims — when other cases around the same time did the opposite?”

It’s a Big Deal as Peru are still on the hook financially for billions. If Weissmann handled Odebrecht differently, the question is why.

This is part of a broader investigation of whether DOJ was “weaponized” — using discretion inconsistently for political or other reasons.
