2020 election denier under scrutiny from fair elections advocates for new role at DOJ

Kurt Olsen, once tied to overturning the 2020 election, has a new role in the Southern District of Florida.
Olsen is placed at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, involved in an ongoing probe.
Advocacy groups urge Olsen’s removal over alleged access to election system software.
Olsen previously worked on election security at the White House and linked to Paxton-led efforts.
The group Free Speech For People criticized Olsen and urged congressional action.
Democrats could pursue investigations into Olsen while acknowledging partisan dynamics.
Olsen appeared at a 2023 summit with Mike Lindell and Steve Bannon.
The DOJ did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Olsen’s role.
The Florida probe includes other figures tied to political influence and election theories.
Elections are run by states, a point cited in broader debate about federal involvement.
