据熟悉奥尔森离职情况的消息人士周一向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，曾试图推翻2020年选举结果以支持特朗普总统的选举否认者库尔特·奥尔森已从司法部辞职。
奥尔森此前被指派到佛罗里达州南区联邦检察官办公室，当时他正在参与一项针对奥巴马和拜登时期官员的“重大阴谋”调查，该调查迄今尚未提出任何指控。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已向奥尔森置评请求。
本月早些时候，由司法部长托德·布兰奇任命的检察官乔·迪杰诺瓦也因与司法部高级官员就案件管理方式和进度产生分歧而辞职。
据联邦调查局（FBI）消息，奥尔森此前曾在白宫担任“总统任命的选举安全与诚信主任”。2020年，奥尔森作为律师与得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿合作，敦促最高法院推翻选举结果。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已向司法部置评请求。
2022年，奥尔森收到众议院1月6日特别委员会的传票，该委员会正在调查2020年选举后的相关情况。传票指控奥尔森“奉总统之命联系司法部多名高级官员”，讨论就选举结果提起诉讼事宜。该委员会称，奥尔森曾在2021年1月6日多次与特朗普先生通话。
奥尔森向联邦调查局提交了富尔顿县选举案件的相关线索，促使探员于今年早些时候执行搜查令。联邦调查局的一份宣誓书显示，探员从2020年选举相关材料中查获了数十箱选票及其他物品。
据一位直接知情人士透露，奥尔森还向司法部提交了其他几份与2020年选举相关的线索。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道，执法界资深人士深表担忧，称特朗普时期的司法部对布伦南等人的刑事调查正系统性地任用带有政治动机的人员，意图进行党派性起诉。
多位消息人士称，奥尔森是近日离开该重大阴谋案件调查团队的多名检察官之一。
不过其中一位消息人士表示，部分从外州调来的律师是以临时身份参与工作的，相关任务现已结束，这些律师将返回各自的原办公地。另一位消息人士补充称，司法部已聘请两名前检察官加入该调查团队。
Election denier Kurt Olsen has resigned from DOJ, sources say

Kurt Olsen, an election denier who attempted to overturn the 2020 election results in favor of President Trump, has resigned from the Justice Department, sources familiar with his departure told CBS News on Monday.
Olsen had been assigned to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, where he was working on the “grand conspiracy” investigation targeting Obama- and Biden-era officials, which has so far not resulted in any charges.
CBS News has asked Olsen for comment.
Earlier this month, Joe diGenova, the prosecutor who was tapped by Attorney General Todd Blanche, also resigned amid tensions with senior Justice Department officials over how the cases were being managed and their pace.
Olsen was previously working out of the White House as a “Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity,” the FBI said. In 2020, Olsen was an attorney working with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to urge the Supreme Court to overturn the election results.
CBS News reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
In 2022, Olsen was subpoenaed by the House Jan. 6 select committee, which was investigating the aftermath of the 2020 election. The subpoena alleged that Olsen “contacted various high-level officials at the Department of Justice” at the president’s direction to discuss filing challenges to the election results. The committee said Olsen spoke multiple times with Mr. Trump on Jan. 6, 2021.
Olsen made the Fulton County election case referral to the FBI, prompting agents to execute a search warrant earlier this year. They seized dozens of boxes of ballots and other materials from the 2020 election, an FBI affidavit revealed.
Olsen has also made several other 2020 election-related referrals to the Justice Department, according to a source with direct knowledge.
CBS News has previously reported that law enforcement veterans have been expressing deep concerns that the Trump Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Brennan and others is being systematically stacked with politically motivated personnel who are intent on a partisan indictment.
Olsen is one of several prosecutors in recent days to leave the team working on the grand conspiracy case, several sources said.
One of those sources, however, said that some of the attorneys who came in from out of state were working there on a temporary basis and that those assignments had come to an end, and those attorneys are returning to their home offices. The Justice Department has since hired two new former prosecutors to join the investigative team, a source added.
