I left on a first written warning because an attempt to put me on a second warning was made and there was a whole slew of bad things that happened at the job over the years.

So I resigned.

How much do you tell a recruiter about the written warning and the office politics?

Not a good fit; moving on to other endeavors.
If they call for employment verification, it's a "yes" or "no" answer.

You never share that information. You keep it professional and about your goals. You left to find a better fit for what you are looking for. You would like to pursue x, y and z and that was not available at your former job.

You don't share anything about office politics or the written warning.
