Joe diGenova, the prosecutor who was tapped by Attorney General Todd Blanche to supervise the "grand conspiracy" investigation targeting Obama- and Biden-era officials, abruptly resigned on Thursday.
In a brief call with CBS News, diGenova said he had turned in his resignation letter to Blanche at 3 p.m. on Thursday.
"It was an honor and a privilege to serve the president and the department," he said. He added that his wife, attorney Victoria Toensing, who also worked with the team of federal prosecutors in Fort Pierce, Florida, will be leaving the Justice Department on Friday.
diGenova declined to comment on the reasons for his sudden departure, which was first reported by ABC News. CBS News has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
His exit comes just days after lawyers representing some of the witnesses in the investigation received emails alerting them that their clients would be receiving grand jury subpoenas, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
Recently, diGenova's investigators also reached out to lawyers who represent former FBI agents who investigated President Trump for his retention of classified records to request voluntary interviews, two other sources briefed on the matter said.

Democrats pursue their enemies with a fanatical zeal.
Republicans only do it until something more lucrative comes along. 🙄
I didn’t know those two fossils were still around.
I called this months ago - the guy is all talk.
WTF????? I thought Joe was going to ne THE MAN! How disappointing.
With subpoenas going out, it Looks like joe & victoria’s work is done
“...diGenova declined to comment on the reasons for his sudden departure...”
Horse head in bed.
Well hell..
Yup. He loves to spout crap on FoxNews for easy $$$.. But rolling his sleeves up and doing real work? Too lazy.
Joe is 81 years old!!!
THAT surprises me..I surmise that he thinks it would be a waste of time - nothing worth pursuing and says count me out!!! As to his wife - maybe a different reason.. I haven’t seen or heard of either in a long, long time..
He’s 81. That might have something to do with it.
He got a phone call from the
Dark Side of the See-Aye-Ay
The ones they wouldn’t have in the...
Just joking. I think...
No one is going to jail.
This deep into Trump’s administration term and this guy was still around?
That’s incredible.
For your amusement...
It’s a dumpster fire. Midterms will bring the inferno. Trump may as well have been one of those monks that set themselves on fire. Total disaster.
The DU wants you back
