华盛顿，6月2日（路透社）——曾协助唐纳德·特朗普总统推翻2020年大选结果的白宫官员库尔特·奥尔森已加入司法部，担任高级律师，将向一名负责针对特朗普对手展开大范围刑事调查的检察官汇报工作。
美国司法部发言人证实，奥尔森于周一加入佛罗里达州南区联邦检察官办公室。

奥尔森未立即回应置评请求。司法部将有关其工作职责的问题转交至位于迈阿密的联邦检察官办公室，但该办公室未回应问询。
佛罗里达州南区联邦检察官杰森·雷丁·基诺内斯负责监督的多项事务中，有一组检察官正在调查此前对特朗普的调查是否构成针对他的刑事阴谋。
这项工作由特朗普盟友乔·迪杰诺瓦监督，他目前担任代理司法部长托德·布兰奇的顾问，同时领导迈阿密办公室新设立的民权部门。
雷丁·基诺内斯上月在X平台发帖称赞迪杰诺瓦组建的团队。
“乔·迪杰诺瓦组建我们刑事民权部门的工作进展迅速，”5月19日的帖子写道。“他已经集结了12名检察官团队，每周都有更多人加入。”
该帖子附带的照片显示，奥尔森出现在佛罗里达州皮尔斯堡联邦法院外的一群人中，雷丁·基诺内斯称该团队当日在此会面。
奥尔森此前并无检察官工作经历的记录，曾因在代表特朗普盟友卡里·拉克挑战亚利桑那州投票程序的案件中发表虚假陈述而被联邦法院制裁。
奥尔森曾调查选举舞弊阴谋论
作为白宫特别政府雇员，奥尔森曾牵头特朗普政府的选举诚信工作，包括重新审视特朗普2020年的败选结果，并调查已被证伪的选举舞弊阴谋论。
奥尔森的工作包括探查外国势力干预美国大选的可能性，并在波多黎各、佐治亚州和亚利桑那州扣押投票机及相关材料以协助调查。
他主要聚焦于已被证伪的阴谋论，即前委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗政府能够通过植入委内瑞拉籍代码入侵多米尼恩投票机，篡改投票结果。
调查范围还涉及其他特朗普对手
佛罗里达团队的调查正在审视此前针对特朗普的多项调查，包括2016年竞选团队与俄罗斯关联的调查，以及前特别检察官杰克·史密斯近期提起的案件，还有2022年联邦调查局搜查特朗普海湖庄园查获机密文件的事件。
此次调查是特朗普政府时期司法部追求总统不满事项及打击政治对手的更大行动的一部分。
鉴于此前的调查针对不同议题，部分调查步骤已获得法官和大陪审团批准，要证明存在广泛的反特朗普阴谋可能极为困难。参与相关案件的官员多次表示，其工作开展合规。
奥尔森在司法部任职前就已参与选举相关事务。据路透社报道，他曾跨部门参与重新审视特朗普2020年败选结果及核查已被证伪的选民欺诈主张的工作。
目前尚不清楚奥尔森与选举相关的工作是否已纳入司法部的调查范围。
布兰奇和联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔近几周表示，他们的办公室正在调查2020年大选期间可能存在的选民欺诈行为。

WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) – Kurt Olsen, a White House official who aided President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, has joined the Justice Department as a senior attorney reporting to a prosecutor seeking to build a wide-ranging criminal case against the president’s foes.
Olsen joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida on Monday, a Justice Department spokesperson confirmed.

Olsen did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Justice Department referred questions about his duties to the Miami-based U.S. Attorney’s Office, which did not respond to inquiries.
Among the matters overseen by U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quinones, a group of prosecutors is examining whether past investigations of Trump amounted to a criminal conspiracy against him.
The effort is being supervised by Joe diGenova, a Trump ally now serving as a counselor to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and leader of a new civil rights unit in the Miami office.
In a post on X, Reding Quinones last month applauded the team diGenova is assembling.
“Joe diGenova is off to a fast start building our Criminal Civil Rights Section,” the May 19 post read. “He’s already assembled a team of 12 prosecutors, with more joining every week.”
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.
Olsen, an attorney with no prior record of experience as a prosecutor, was previously sanctioned by a federal court for making false statements while representing Trump ally Kari Lake in a case challenging Arizona voting procedures.
OLSEN INVESTIGATED VOTE-RIGGING THEORIES
Olsen has been leading the Trump administration’s election integrity effort, including reexamining Trump’s 2020 defeat and investigating disproven vote-rigging theories, as a special government employee with the White House.
Olsen’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.
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.
ELECTION PROBE INCLUDES OTHER TRUMP FOES
The Florida team’s investigation has been examining earlier inquiries into Trump including the probe into ties between his 2016 campaign and Russia as well as more recent cases brought by former Special Counsel Jack Smith and the FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for classified documents in 2022.
The probe is part of a larger effort by the Justice Department under Trump to pursue the president’s grievances and political enemies.
Allegations of a broad anti-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.
Olsen’s work on election-related matters predates his Justice Department role. As Reuters has reported, he has worked across agencies on efforts to revisit Trump’s 2020 defeat and examine disproven claims of voter fraud.
It was unclear whether Olsen’s election-related work has been folded into the Justice Department.
Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel have said in recent weeks their offices are examining potential voter fraud in the 2020 election.
