Story summary

Jason Reding Quinones, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida who oversaw investigations into past criminal probes involving President Donald Trump, has resigned from the Justice Department, as announced by Attorney General Todd Blanche on November 6, 2026. Quiñones led a controversial investigation known as the "grand conspiracy" probe, which aimed to charge officials over conduct related to prior investigations of Trump. The resignation comes amid a series of high-profile departures from the Justice Department following Democratic wins in the midterm elections. Quinones had been tasked with investigating whether officials in previous administrations engaged in criminal conduct while overseeing probes of Trump's handling of classified documents and his campaign’s contacts with Russia during the 2016 election.
