Joe diGenova abruptly resigns from DOJ after overseeing "grand conspiracy" probe into Biden and Obama officials

Key Points:

• Joe diGenova, appointed by Attorney General Todd Blanche to oversee the "grand conspiracy" investigation into Obama- and Biden-era officials, abruptly resigned on Thursday, with his wife Victoria Toensing also set to leave the Justice Department.
• DiGenova's resignation follows recent developments in the probe, including grand jury subpoenas issued to witnesses and requests for voluntary interviews with former FBI agents involved in investigating Trump's handling of classified records.
• The investigation, based in Fort Pierce, Florida, examines alleged efforts by former officials to prevent Trump from holding office and includes a criminal probe into whether ex-CIA Director John Brennan lied to Congress about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
• DiGenova was appointed in April after the previous prosecutor was removed amid concerns about the evidence, but no charges have been filed in either case, which have faced criticism for potential political motivations.
• DiGenova, who previously served as a U.S. attorney and represented Trump's 2020 campaign in efforts to challenge election results, has been a vocal critic of Brennan's role in the Russia investigation.
