Senior DOJ Prosecutor Who Led Trump “Grand Conspiracy” Probe Resigns
Jason Reding Quiñones, senior DOJ prosecutor who led the contentious ‘grand conspiracy’ probe of Trump’s foes, resigns amid a post‑midterm DOJ exodus.
POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Senior Justice Department prosecutor Jason Reding Quiñones announced his departure from the agency on Tuesday, ending his oversight of the high‑profile “grand conspiracy” investigation into President Donald Trump’s political opponents.
The probe, launched under a Trump‑appointed U.S. attorney in the Southern District, examined federal law‑enforcement officials accused of participating in actions against Trump allies. Quiñones, a senior federal prosecutor, has been the public face of the controversial effort.
His exit follows a string of resignations within the DOJ, including an assistant attorney general and the head of the National Security Division, a wave sparked by the party’s crushing midterm losses.
