Summary
Joe diGenova resigned Thursday from the Justice Department probe examining officials tied to past investigations of Donald Trump, submitting his letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche at 3 p.m.
The departure followed growing frustration from Trump and senior DOJ officials over diGenova's handling of the so-called grand conspiracy case, which has issued dozens of subpoenas over the past year but produced no criminal prosecutions.
DiGenova, 81, had been tapped in April to accelerate the Southern District of Florida investigation after pitching himself to Trump as someone who could ramp it up.
The inquiry has targeted intelligence and law-enforcement figures involved in Trump-related investigations stretching from the 2016 campaign through the criminal probes he faced after leaving office in 2021.
