Kurt Olsen resigned Monday from a Justice Department investigation in the Southern District of Florida that has been described as examining a “grand conspiracy” involving President Donald Trump’s political opponents, multiple outlets reported.
Olsen had previously served as Trump’s election security czar, according to The Washington Post and The Daily Beast. The New York Times reported that he was the second prosecutor to leave the case, following the departure of the prosecutor leading the investigation about three weeks earlier. The reports did not state a reason for Olsen’s resignation or identify a replacement.
