Prosecutor Tapped to Investigate Trump Foes Resigns.

Joe DiGenova resigned Thursday from his role overseeing a Justice Department conspiracy investigation targeting Trump's political adversaries. He confirmed the departure to multiple outlets, calling it an 'honor and a privilege' to serve.

• DiGenova had been in the role just five months, starting in April.
• 0 criminal charges have resulted despite dozens of subpoenas issued over the past year.
• Former CIA Director John Brennan was among the grand jury's reported targets.
• The grand jury operates out of Fort Pierce, Florida, before U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.

Why it matters: DiGenova replaced career prosecutor Maria Meditis Long, who was removed after resisting pressure to bring charges faster. He had promised charges within 30 days of taking over.

• Sources described clashes between DiGenova and DOJ superiors in Washington over the pace of the probe.
• DiGenova was told he had lost the confidence of his superiors before submitting his resignation letter at 3 p.m. Thursday.
