Breaking News: The United States Justice Department has dispatched one of Donald Trump's most loyal legal allies to lead what is being called the "Grand Conspiracy" investigation — a sweeping and deeply controversial probe targeting former intelligence officials, prosecutors, and FBI agents who investigated Trump during and after his first term.
What Happened
The Justice Department dispatched Joe diGenova — a Trump loyalist attorney who assisted President Trump's failed legal effort to overturn his 2020 election loss — to help lead a controversial investigation in Florida targeting the president's perceived political foes. The installation of diGenova came after the removal of career prosecutor Maria Medetis Long, who had expressed concerns about rushing criminal charges against former CIA Director John Brennan.
Key Details
Who Is Joe diGenova? DiGenova served as US attorney for Washington DC in the 1980s but hasn't been a prosecutor for decades. He has been a vocal Trump ally in frequent media appearances — previously calling former CIA Director Brennan "a real traitor" who should face criminal charges.
The "Grand Conspiracy" Theory. Their theory of the case — still unsupported by evidence — holds that a cabal of Democrats and "deep state" operatives, possibly led by former President Obama, worked to destroy Trump in a yearslong plot spanning the Russia inquiry through the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
The Investigation's Scope. More than two dozen subpoenas have been issued to officials who took part in the Russia inquiry — including former DNI James Clapper, former FBI agent Peter Strzok, and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Some subpoenas reportedly did not mention specific crimes being investigated.
A Pattern of Political Prosecution. In September, Trump installed an inexperienced White House lawyer to bring charges against James Comey after her predecessor refused to do so. A federal magistrate judge handling that case accused prosecutors of trying "to indict first, investigate second."
No Evidence of a Coordinated Conspiracy. Legal experts and former officials note there is no evidence the three investigations were coordinated as a single effort — the foundational claim of the entire probe.
Why It Matters
A sitting president is using the Department of Justice to prosecute his perceived political enemies through an investigation that legal experts say lacks a credible factual foundation. The replacement of an experienced career prosecutor who raised legitimate legal concerns — with a political ally who has spent years on television promoting Trump's grievances — is the specific development that alarms legal scholars.
