Court filings from the Eastern District of Virginia (Case references: U.S. v. Elmer Stewart Rhodes III et al., filed Jan. 2022; U.S. v. Mohammad Sharifullah, filed Mar. 2025) show Edwards listed as prosecuting counsel. DOJ press releases confirm his participation.

In March, the Department of Justice announced charges against Sharifullah, tied to the Abbey Gate bombing in Kabul that killed 13 U.S. service members. Edwards was again named as part of the team. The DOJ press release celebrated the capture, quoting Attorney General Pamela Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert. What DOJ did not address: credible reports that military leadership had ordered a โ€œstand downโ€ at Abbey Gate, a decision some believe directly contributed to the deaths.

Despite this shadow, Edwards continues handling cases that intersect national security, military failures, and politically charged narratives.
