Story summary

U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones, who led a controversial probe targeting President Donald Trump's opponents, has resigned from his post at the Justice Department, according to Attorney General Todd Blanche. Quiñones was responsible for investigating whether officials in previous administrations engaged in criminal conduct during probes of Trump’s handling of classified documents and his campaign’s contacts with Russia. His departure follows a series of high-level resignations after significant Republican losses in recent midterm elections. In addition to overseeing the so-called "grand conspiracy" investigation, Quiñones had indicted Raul Castro, the former Cuban president, among other major cases in the Southern District of Florida.
