Joe DiGenova Resigns From DOJ Investigation Into Alleged Conspiracy Against Trump
The probe has drawn dozens of subpoenas but no charges, and diGenova left after clashes with senior Justice Department officials over its pace.
- Joe DiGenova resigned Thursday from his position leading a Justice Department investigation into whether former federal officials conspired against President Donald Trump, submitting his resignation to Attorney General Todd Blanche.
- Brought in five months ago to replace prosecutor Maria Meditis Long, DiGenova had vowed to secure indictments within 30 days but the investigation produced no criminal prosecutions despite dozens of subpoenas.
- Clashes with senior DOJ officials eventually cost DiGenova the confidence of his superiors, with one recent confrontation warning him he had lost their trust. The investigation targeted former law enforcement and intelligence officials who had scrutinized Trump.
- DiGenova told The Associated Press it was an "honor and a privilege" to serve the department. The Justice Department declined to comment on the investigation's future direction.
- The investigation purports to examine intelligence officials who scrutinized Trump and his inner circle from his 2016 campaign through criminal probes after leaving office in 2021, though it remains unclear how the DOJ will proceed.
