Justice Department accepts Joe diGenova’s resignation amid Trump probe dispute
Attorney General Todd Blanche accepted the resignation of Justice Department prosecutor Joe diGenova on 14 September in Washington, D. C. , after a tense phone call and disagreements over the resources and scope of the department’s probe into alleged conspiracies against President Donald Trump.
Sources said diGenova had lost the confidence of senior Justice Department and White House officials, prompting his departure, while other officials had voiced concerns about the investigation’s slow pace. He had submitted his resignation on 8 September, ending his oversight of two high-profile inquiries into alleged plots involving former Obama and Biden officials, and the anti-Trump investigation had been described as stalled.
