CNN and CBS News are now under the control of the Ellison family. We need independent, pro-democracy media to grow. If you agree, please subscribe to Democracy Docket now. demdock.com/4w6emld

WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.

NEW: Kurt Olsen's resignation from the DOJ marked the latest Trump loyalist to bow out after failing to prove election conspiracies. The continuous string of resignations underscores that, despite Trump's ongoing push to prove false claims of voter fraud, the effort has come up empty.

Trump hired them to prove election conspiracies. They all left without proving anything
The series of resignations serves as a stark reminder of how Trump has directed enormous federal resources to proving 2020 election conspiracies -- and has come up empty.
