US attorney tasked with leading probe into Trump's foes resigns from DOJ
Jason Reding Quinones, the U.S. attorney tasked with leading a sweeping and controversial conspiracy probe targeting President Trump’s foes, has resigned from the DOJ.
U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones resigned from his position overseeing the grand conspiracy investigation into Obama- and Biden-era intelligence officials, marking another departure from a Justice Department probe plagued by internal disputes. Attorney General Todd Blanche praised Quiñones for his work tackling violent crime and transnational criminal organizations, but did not provide an explanation for his departure.
Quiñones thanked President Trump for the opportunity and expressed gratitude for serving his country. His exit is the latest blow to the investigation, which is probing whether former intelligence officials under two Democratic administrations conspired to prevent Trump's election.
