President Trump is urging the Justice Department to investigate the 2020 election, writing on social media, “I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much 'gusto' as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history!” Earlier this month, the Trump administration appointed Kurt Olsen, a former Trump campaign lawyer, as a “special government employee” to work on election issues. Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, officials said that Olsen has started asking intelligence agencies about information related to the 2020 election. This comes as the Trump administration has instructed the Justice Department to send observers to New Jersey and California to monitor polling sites during elections next week. Californians are set to vote on a ballot proposition that would redraw the state’s congressional districts, allowing Democrats to possibly pick up five additional seats in Congress. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom called the Trump’s administration moves an “intimidation tactic,” while California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta said, “All indications, all arrows, show that this is a tee-up for something more dangerous in the 2026 midterms and maybe beyond.”
