2 top DOJ officials resign, including assistant attorney general for national security
The departures leave the Justice Department without leaders for two major divisions as the grand conspiracy probe has produced no charges.
- 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.
