Kurt Olsen, lawyer who backed Trump's false 2020 election claims, resigns from US Justice Department conspiracy probe

Kurt Olsen, a lawyer who supported President Donald Trump's false claims about the 2020 US election, has resigned from a Justice Department investigation into whether former government officials conspired against Trump. The resignation, confirmed on Monday, comes weeks after another Trump ally, Joseph diGenova, stepped down from leading the probe. Olsen had no prior experience as a prosecutor and had been involved in efforts to overturn election results. The investigation, which has been ongoing for about a year, has not produced any criminal charges so far.
