DEVELOPING: Tarek William Saab resigned as Venezuela's Attorney General, tendering his resignation to the National Assembly, as confirmed by Reuters on February 25, 2026, and reported by ThomasVLinge on X during the reporting window from 9:46 PM to 10:46 PM UTC. Saab, who assumed the position in 2017 after replacing Luisa Ortega DÃaz—who defected from the regime and fled the country—held the role amid claims of fraudulent elections, according to the Reuters article cited by ThomasVLinge. This follows his resignation letter submitted between 8:46 PM and 9:16 PM UTC earlier that evening, as previously reported by Victor Amaya and Puzkas on X. The resignation enables the National Assembly to appoint acting officials and establish nominating committees, per details in Saab's letter reported earlier. No new official response from the National Assembly was reported in this 59-minute window. This development occurs alongside the prior resignation of Ombudsman Alfredo Ruiz in the same earlier period and the regime's confiscation of opposition figure Laura Acosta's home in Caracas, as noted in previous coverage by Emma Rincon on X.
