A Justice Department investigation into former officials involved in probes of President Donald Trump has been disrupted. The lead prosecutor overseeing the investigation, Joe diGenova, has resigned. This move came after a tense phone call with Justice Secretary Todd Blanche. DiGenova, a Washington attorney and former chief prosecutor, was leading the investigation from southern Florida.

The details of the phone call and the circumstances surrounding diGenova's resignation are not fully clear. However, it is known that the conversation took place on Wednesday and diGenova stepped down the following day.

Further information on the investigation and diGenova's resignation can be found through Evan Pérez and Katelyn Polantz's reporting.
