The Net Worth of Joseph diGenova
How rich is Joseph diGenova? As of mid-2018, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $10 million, mostly earned through a successful career in politics and as an attorney. He’s also been known as a promoter of conspiracy theories about the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as the Department of Justice. As he continues his endeavors, it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.
Career in Politics and Law
During his time as US Attorney, he was the lead prosecutor of Jonathan Pollard who pleaded guilty of spying for Israel – Pollard was a former intelligence agent, and was detected providing top-secret information to Israel, and was subsequently sentenced to life in prison for violation of the Espionage act; Israel subsequently tried unsuccessfully to secure his release. Joseph also served as an Independent Counsel during the investigation of the pre-election search of presidential candidate Bill Clinton’s passport file during the administration of President George H. W. Bush.
Television Career and Later Work

On television, he has accused the FBI of trying to frame President Donald Trump for crimes which are non-existent.

Further Controversy
Joseph would go on air and call former FBI Director James Coney a dirty cop, his actions clearly supported by President Trump who would use his quotes in tweets. Joseph also called for the pardoning of Scooter Libby, an adviser of Dick Cheney who was found guilty of perjury as he was leaking sensitive classified material. The move was said to be due to the fact that he married Libby’s lawyer – the call led to Libby being pardoned in 2018.
Marriage to Victoria Toensing
It is known that diGenova is married to lawyer Victoria Toensing and the two of them head their own law firm diGenova & Toensing. The duo specialize in white-collar criminal defense, lobbying, and regulatory inquiries.
