An attorney who supported President Donald Trump’s false 2020 election claims has resigned from a Justice Department inquiry examining whether former government officials plotted against the Republican president, according to reports.
Kurt Olsen’s departure from the so-called "grand conspiracy" investigation marks further upheaval for a meandering probe that has proceeded in fits and starts while prosecutors pursue an ill-defined right-wing theory of a plot against Trump. The development comes just weeks after another Trump ally, Joseph DiGenova, stepped down from leading the closely watched inquiry in Florida.
