The Trump administration has appointed Kurt Olsen, an attorney and prominent 2020 election-denier, as a special government employee to investigate the 2020 election. After failing to find evidence that voting machines were hacked, Olsen has now accused Mojave Research, a firm involved in the investigation, of unspecified wrongdoing. The appointment signals the administration's continued focus on contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election. This move is likely to fuel further political controversy over election integrity.
