Trump ally granted access to secret intelligence for 2020 election probe
Top U.S. intelligence agencies are sharing highly classified material with Kurt Olsen, Trump’s former campaign lawyer turned White House special government employee, to lead a probe into whether Biden’s 2020 victory involved fraud or electoral irregularities. Olsen has reportedly reviewed sensitive intelligence programs despite limited intelligence experience, raising concerns about politicization and potential risks to sources and methods. The White House says Trump has authority to declassify and direct access; Democrats worry the arrangement could undermine national security while arguing for independent election oversight.
