The Justice Department referred questions about his duties to the Miami-based U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office, which did not respond to inquiries.<\/div><div>Among the matters overseen \u200bby U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quinones, a group of prosecutors is examining whether past investigations \u200bof Trump amounted to a criminal conspiracy against him.<\/div><div>The effort is being supervised by Joe diGenova, a Trump ally \u2060now serving as a counselor to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and leader of a new civil rights unit in the Miami office.<\/div><div>In \u200ba post on X, Reding Quinones last month applauded the team diGenova is assembling.<\/div><div>\u201cJoe diGenova is off to a fast start building our Criminal \u200bCivil Rights Section,\u201d the May 19 post read. \u201cHe\u2019s already assembled a team of 12 prosecutors, with more joining every week.\u201d<\/div><div>A photo accompanying the post included Olsen among a group of people standing outside the U.S. federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, where Reding Quinones said the team met that day.<\/div><div>Olsen, an attorney with \u200bno prior record of experience as a prosecutor, was previously sanctioned by a federal court for making false statements while representing Trump ally Kari \u200bLake in a case challenging Arizona voting procedures.<\/div><h2>OLSEN INVESTIGATED VOTE-RIGGING THEORIES<\/h2><div>Olsen has been leading the Trump administration\u2019s election integrity effort, including reexamining Trump\u2019s 2020 defeat and investigating disproven \u200cvote-rigging theories, \u2060as a special government employee with the White House.<\/div><div>Olsen&#8217;s work has included probing potential foreign intervention in U.S. elections and seizing voting machines and materials in Puerto Rico, Georgia and Arizona to aid the investigation.<\/div><div>He has focused primarily on the disproven theory that the government of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was able to penetrate Dominion voting machines and flip votes by exploiting Venezuelan-origin code.<\/div><h2>ELECTION PROBE INCLUDES OTHER TRUMP FOES<\/h2><div>The Florida team&#8217;s investigation \u200bhas been examining earlier inquiries into Trump \u200bincluding the probe into ties \u2060between his 2016 campaign and Russia as well as more recent cases brought by former Special Counsel Jack Smith and the FBI search of Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago resort for classified documents in 2022.<\/div><div>The probe is part of \u200ba larger effort by the Justice Department under Trump to pursue the president\u2019s grievances and political enemies.<\/div><div>Allegations \u200bof a broad \u2060anti-Trump conspiracy could be difficult to prove given prior investigations examined different issues and some investigative steps were approved by judges and grand juries. Officials involved in those cases have repeatedly said their work was conducted appropriately.<\/div><div>Olsen\u2019s work on election-related matters predates his Justice Department role. As Reuters has reported, he \u2060has worked \u200bacross agencies on efforts to revisit Trump\u2019s 2020 defeat and examine disproven claims of \u200bvoter fraud.<\/div><div>It was unclear whether Olsen\u2019s election-related work has been folded into the Justice Department.<\/div><div>Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel have said in recent weeks their offices are examining potential \u200bvoter fraud in the 2020 election.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Erin Banco\" class=\"wp-image-526\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5b69aef0fe6e92c58d3fba942a2ddd94.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Erin Banco<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=834\">Ex-Hollywood, MAGA and Trump\u2019s ballroom commissioner: the U.S. crowd at Russia\u2019s \u2018Davos\u2019<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=831\">UK police under pressure after dying student was handcuffed<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=828\">Exclusive: Meta scales back plan for internal mouse-tracking tech, citing staff concerns<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kurt Olsen, a White House official who aided President Donald Trump\u2019s attempt to overturn the 2020 \u200belection, has joined the Justice Department as a senior attorney reporting to a prosecutor seeking to build a wide-ranging criminal case against \u200cthe president\u2019s foes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[39,114,17],"class_list":["post-836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-legal-industry","tag-people-moves","tag-public-policy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
