US attorney general says probes handled by ex-prosecutor DiGenova will continue
Blanche said the Justice Department will keep moving on investigations DiGenova oversaw, including the Florida-based probe into Trump-related inquiries.
On Tuesday, Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that investigations handled by former federal prosecutor Joseph DiGenova will continue following DiGenova's resignation last week.
DiGenova had joined the Justice Department in April to lead a Florida-based investigation scrutinizing President Donald Trump's political foes and seeking to establish that Trump was the victim of a long-running criminal conspiracy.
The investigation examines 2017 intelligence findings regarding Russia's 2016 election interference, as well as matters previously probed by former Special Counsel Jack Smith, including classified document retention at Mar-a-Lago.
Blanche expressed appreciation for DiGenova's work, stating, "we're not going to slow down just because somebody leaves," signaling continuity in the department's investigative efforts.
Despite the investigation's broad mandate to establish a conspiracy against the president, the probe has not resulted in any criminal charges to date.
