DOJ official resigns amid questions about "grand conspiracy" probe

What happened: Jason Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida overseeing the "grand conspiracy" investigation into Obama- and Biden-era intelligence officials, abruptly resigned on Friday. Why it matters: The exit is the latest blow to a Fort Pierce-based probe that has generated extensive grand jury activity but has yet to produce charges establishing the alleged overarching conspiracy. It follows other departures, including Joe diGenova in September, amid internal disputes over management of the case.
