White House Election Chief Turned on Contractor After Forensic Review Found No Hacking

The dispute highlights a government hunt for foreign meddling that rests on a debunked claim about Dominion voting machines.

Overview

  • Reuters reporting described a secret federal review of Dominion machines in Puerto Rico that found no trace of hacking after months of analysis.
  • Mojave Research, the cybersecurity firm hired for the review, reported software vulnerabilities in the machines but said it found no evidence those flaws were used.
  • After those findings, White House election chief Kurt Olsen accused Mojave of serving the “deep state” and taking money from George Soros, which the company denied after opening its books.
  • Olsen ran the effort from the White House with staff from the intelligence and law enforcement community and access to CIA election intelligence, and his referrals led to FBI actions in Georgia and Arizona.
  • The White House called the reporting misinformation, contrasting with independent experts who say there is no evidence Dominion systems were hacked and that the Smartmatic‑in‑Dominion claim is technically incoherent.
