Election Denier Kurt Olsen Has Resigned From DOJ, Sources Say
- On Monday, Kurt Olsen resigned from the Justice Department, exiting his position in the Southern District of Florida where he was investigating a so-called "grand conspiracy" targeting Obama- and Biden-era officials.
- Previously, Olsen served as a "Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity" at the White House, gaining prominence as an election denier who attempted to overturn 2020 results.
- The "grand conspiracy" investigation pursues an ill-defined right-wing theory of a plot against President Trump, yet has produced no criminal charges since its inception.
- Joe DiGenova's resignation last month preceded Olsen's departure, reflecting ongoing turmoil within the investigation team as prosecutors continue pursuing the case in fits and starts.
- Internal investigators and legal observers have expressed concerns about the case's strength, with the investigation struggling to find evidence supporting the theory against Brennan and other former officials.
