Joe diGenova, a lawyer and vocal supporter of Donald Trump, stepped down from his position within the Department of Justice late Thursday. DiGenova had been tasked with overseeing an expansive investigation targeting individuals perceived as political enemies of the former president.

According to reports, the investigation was being conducted out of a U.S. Attorney’s office in Florida. Prosecutors involved in the probe had issued dozens of subpoenas as part of the effort to uncover evidence of what was described as a "grand conspiracy."

While the specific reasons for the resignation were not fully detailed in official statements, reports indicate that diGenova expressed reservations regarding the viability and strength of the case. The resignation marks a significant development in the ongoing legal scrutiny surrounding the former president's efforts to investigate his political opponents. As of now, the Department of Justice has not provided further comment on the future of the investigation or whether it will continue under new leadership following diGenova's departure.
