DOJ Probe Into Trump's Critics Shaken by Resignation and Resource Clash
TL;DR
The Justice Department’s broad probe into Trump’s critics was jolted by the abrupt resignation of lead prosecutor Joe diGenova after a tense call with Attorney General Todd Blanche, centering on attempts to block headquarters’ lawyers and to secure a high-security SCIF in Fort Pierce. The inquiry has expanded to include Brennan and other figures tied to past investigations, with subpoenas and grand jury testimony underway; diGenova’s departure could slow momentum, though officials say the investigation may pick up again without him.
