Attorney General Todd Blanche accepted the resignation of Joe diGenova, the lead prosecutor fighting to expose anti-Trump conspiracies within the government, after a tense call and disputes over critical resources and the scope of the investigation.
The Justice Department’s crucial investigation into former officials accused of conspiring against President Donald Trump faced a setback Thursday as Joe diGenova, a respected Washington attorney and the probe’s leader, resigned following a heated phone call with Attorney General Todd Blanche. Sources revealed that diGenova was forced to defend his team’s independence against interference from department headquarters lawyers and had to fight for a secure SCIF facility at the Fort Pierce office—requests that were inexplicably denied by officials insisting on using an FBI site, raising questions about their motives.
Since taking over in April, diGenova had courageously expanded the investigation beyond the initial focus on former CIA director John Brennan, seeking to uncover a broader web of criminal activity tied to the relentless and baseless investigations of Trump, from the 2016 Russian election interference hoax to the January 6 Capitol riot narrative and the Mar-a-Lago documents case. His team recently subpoenaed former government employees, including Lisa Page and Dan Richman, and interviewed top officials involved in the Russia probe, in a determined effort to hold the deep state accountable.
DiGenova’s resignation could slow the investigation, which was on the verge of bringing long-overdue charges. Nevertheless, a senior Justice Department official insisted the remaining team is resolute and expects to regain momentum. DiGenova declined further comment, emphasizing his belief in building a case “the old-fashioned way”—a testament to his commitment to justice despite institutional resistance. Career prosecutors had previously expressed doubts about the evidence, leading to the replacement of the original lead, Maria Medetis Long, with diGenova. The investigation continues to pursue a wide range of witnesses, including lower-level CIA and intelligence personnel, as it seeks to expose the intelligence community’s role in undermining Trump and the will of the American people.
