Two senior Justice Department officials resigned on Friday: John Eisenberg, who led the National Security Division, and Jason Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for South Florida. Politico, citing two people familiar with the matter, and Fox News, citing multiple sources, reported the departures. Attorney General Todd Blanche said on X that he had accepted Eisenberg’s resignation. Harmeet Dhillon, who headed the Civil Rights Division, had announced her exit a day earlier. Raw Story describes the departures as the third senior resignation since Democrats swept this week’s midterm elections, while RedState says there is no indication yet that the resignations are connected to the results.
