Kurt Olsen, a former Justice Department official known for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in favor of Donald Trump, has resigned from his position. Olsen, who was involved in a grand jury investigation targeting officials from the Obama and Biden administrations, clarified that he only intended to step down from that specific investigation, not his entire role. Previously, Olsen worked as the Director of Election Security and Integrity at the White House and was involved in legal efforts to challenge the 2020 election results. His resignation follows that of Joe diGenova, another prosecutor who left amid disagreements over case management. Olsen’s departure is part of a broader turnover within the team handling the grand conspiracy case, with some attorneys returning to their home offices after temporary assignments. The Justice Department has since hired new prosecutors to continue the investigation.
