Prosecutor who led ‘grand conspiracy’ probe of Trump targets resigns without charging anyone

Joe diGenova, the 81-year-old Trump loyalist who had headed a sprawling investigation in the Southern District of Florida that targeted President Donald Trump’s perceived political enemies, has resigned from the Justice Department. “It was an honor and a privilege to serve the president and the department,” diGenova said Thursday. Asked why he is leaving, diGenova declined to comment. “I’m moving on,” he said. ABC News first reported diGenova’s departure. While diGenova resigned from the Justice Department and was not fired, a source familiar with the determination told NBC News that Justice Department officials had already lost confidence in his leadership skills and his ability to run the investigation.
