A federal investigation into opponents of former President Donald Trump is continuing with subpoenas, despite the departure of its lead prosecutor, Joe diGenova, who left the position without filing any charges. The future of the probe is now uncertain.

Tyler Longview, TX, September 21, 2026 —
A federal investigation reportedly targeting opponents of former President Donald Trump is proceeding with the issuance of subpoenas, even as its lead prosecutor, Joe diGenova, has departed the role. The status of the probe is now facing uncertainty following this change in leadership.
Sources indicate that subpoenas are still being issued in connection with the investigation. However, no charges have been filed by Mr. diGenova prior to his departure from the lead prosecutor position. The investigation’s continuation without charges and with a change at its helm raises questions about its future direction and potential outcomes.
The specific details regarding the nature of the investigation, the individuals or groups being examined, and the precise timeline of Mr. diGenova’s involvement were not provided. The lack of filed charges alongside the ongoing issuance of subpoenas suggests a developing or potentially stalled investigative process.
Mr. diGenova’s exit from his role as lead prosecutor leaves a vacancy at a critical juncture for the inquiry. The ramifications of this departure on the investigation’s momentum and its ultimate objectives remain to be seen. The future trajectory of the probe is described as uncertain.
