Kurt Olsen quits DOJ's 'grand conspiracy' probe of officials who investigated Trump
He is the second Trump loyalist to leave the South Florida probe in weeks, and line prosecutors have gone too.
Olsen, a 2020 election denier with no prosecutorial experience, follows Joe diGenova, who left weeks ago saying he was pressured to bring charges without evidence.
Where the probe stands:
- Legal theory: deprivation of rights under color of law, a civil rights statute.
- Former CIA Director John Brennan was subpoenaed to testify to a South Florida grand jury.
- Fired FBI agents compelled to testify say they would call the Mar-a-Lago search a "properly predicated" investigation.
