Atop prosecutor who worked in the South Florida office where President Donald Trump’s so-called grand conspiracy probe was carried out resigned from the Justice Department.
Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Friday that Jason Reding Quiñones submitted his resignation.
On social media, Quiñones said, “From serving our Nation in uniform to serving at the Department of Justice and on the bench, public service has been the honor of my lifetime. But leading the U.S. Attorney’s Office in my home district has been especially meaningful. I am grateful to President Trump for his trust and to the extraordinary men and women of the great Southern District of Florida for their dedication, friendship, and unwavering commitment to justice and the rule of law.”
Quiñones added, “It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve alongside them and our law enforcement officers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. I leave with immense pride in what we accomplished together and profound gratitude for the opportunity to serve our great Nation.”
Blanche said in a post on X, “We are grateful for Jason’s leadership in combating violent crime, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and transnational crime, including the indictment of Raúl Castro. Jason has served the Department multiple times over his distinguished career, and we thank him for his service to this country.”
Reding Quiñones’s office was the host to a wide-ranging investigation into both the criminal investigations into Trump and a 2016 review of the president’s campaign, The Hill reported.
