2 top DOJ officials resign, including assistant attorney general for national security

The departures add to turnover around a stalled probe that has produced no charges and drew frustration from senior Justice Department leaders.

  • John Eisenberg, Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division, and Jason Quiñones, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, have both submitted their resignations following the midterm elections.
  • Eisenberg led the division handling espionage, terrorism, and leak investigations, including the high-profile prosecution of former National Security Adviser John Bolton over classified material retention.
  • Quiñones had been overseeing high-profile matters out of South Florida, including prosecutions targeting foreign leaders like former Cuban President Raúl Castro and inquiries involving former CIA Director John Brennan.
  • Their resignations immediately follow the departure of Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who stepped down as head of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division on Thursday.
  • The sudden wave of high-profile departures signals significant administrative friction and restructuring at the Department of Justice following the Democratic congressional victory.
