Joe diGenova, Who Tried to Overturn 2020 Election Results, to Lead Probe of Trump’s Critics
The Justice Department has tapped a Trump loyalist to lead a Miami-based federal investigation into former federal officials who investigated Trump. Eighty-one-year-old Joe diGenova previously served as a U.S. attorney under President Reagan. After the 2020 presidential election, he supported efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s victory. DiGenova was named to the role after the Justice Department removed career federal prosecutor Maria Medetis Long, who resisted pressure to bring charges against former CIA Director John Brennan. That investigation is centered around the 2017 intelligence assessment that found Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election in support of Donald Trump.
