Three high-profile officials have resigned from the Justice Department in the days since the midterms, including Jason Reding Quiñones, the senior federal prosecutor who led a sprawling investigation into Donald Trump’s political foes.

Quiñones resigned from his position as the US Attorney in Southern Florida under pressure from department leadership, despite his willingness to pursue some of the most controversial investigations desired by the president, according to sources familiar with the matter.

John Eisenberg, who led the department’s National Security Division, also announced his resignation Friday, and Harmeet Dhillon left her post as the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division on Thursday.
