- Their exits follow a Democratic midterm victory and another senior departure.
- A Miami probe overseen by Quiñones has reportedly struggled.

## Summary

Two senior Justice Department officials, National Security Division head John Eisenberg and Florida US Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones, resigned on Friday. Their departures, following Civil Rights Division chief Harmeet Dhillon’s resignation a day earlier, come after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress and promised investigations into the Trump administration, putting the department under greater scrutiny.

Eisenberg oversaw cases involving cybercrime, terrorism, espionage and surveillance, and had previously advised Trump’s National Security Council. Quiñones was assigned to lead a Miami investigation into an alleged conspiracy involving former CIA director John Brennan and other officials; the article says the probe has struggled amid a lack of evidence and competing investigations. Attorney General Todd Blanche praised both officials’ work, while the article links the wider investigation to Trump’s decision to replace Pam Bondi with Blanche in April.
