Prosecutor Joseph diGenova resigns from DOJ role investigating Trump-Russia probes

Joseph diGenova has resigned from his Justice Department role investigating the alleged "Grand Conspiracy" surrounding the Trump-Russia investigations, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Fox News has learned diGenova lost the confidence of both the Justice Department and the White House.

According to sources familiar with the matter, he had been effectively sidelined well before his departure.

His resignation comes after months in which his role had diminished internally, ending his involvement in the investigation amid questions about his standing within both the administration and DOJ leadership.

"It was an honor and a privilege to serve the president and the department," diGenova told CBS News.

He declined to comment further about the circumstances surrounding his departure.

DiGenova’s wife, attorney Victoria Toensing, who also joined the federal prosecution team in South Florida, is expected to leave the Justice Department on Friday, according to CBS News.

The so-called "Grand Conspiracy" investigation is based out of the U.S.

Attorney’s Office in Fort Pierce, Florida.

It examines whether Obama- and Biden-era officials were involved in a long-running effort to prevent Trump from returning to political office.

The probe has scrutinized officials involved in past investigations of Trump, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey.

DiGenova was also overseeing a separate criminal investigation into whether Brennan lied to Congress about the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
