Trump taps Ingrassia for new role after texting scandalPaul Ingrassia, who withdrew his nomination to lead the Office of Special Counsel last month, says in a farewell email that hes moving to the GSA.
Paul Ingrassia, a conservative activist who withdrew his nomination to oversee a government watchdog agency last month after POLITICO reported he made racist comments in a group chat, said Thursday he is moving to a new job in the administration.
The 30-year-old lawyer had been serving since February as White House liaison to the Department of Homeland Security. But in an email obtained by POLITICO, he told colleagues that he is leaving to become deputy general counsel at the General Services Administration.
President Donald Trump nominated Ingrassia in June to lead the Office of Special Counsel. But Ingrassia withdrew from consideration in October after it became clear he lacked the votes to be confirmed.
Ingrassia said Trump called him into his office on Wednesday evening to offer him the job.

I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it,
MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his holiday should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs,
No moulignon holidays From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth, then added: Every single one needs to be eviscerated.
Blacks behave that way because thats their natural state You cant change them. He then added, according to the chat: Proof: all of Africa is a shithole, and will always be that way.
We need competent white men in positions of leadership. The founding fathers were wrong that all men are created equal We need to reject that part of our heritage,
Exceptional white men are not only the builders of Western civilization but are the ones most capable of appreciating the fruits of our heritage.
In March 2023, he said that education should focus on helping elevating the high IQ section of your demographics, so you know, basically young men, straight White men.
Never trust a chinaman or Indian and then added: NEVER,

Interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica show a White House official told senior Department of Homeland Security officials to return the devices to the brothers several days after they were seized. The official who delivered the message, Paul Ingrassia, is a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as its DHS liaison.
In his written request, a copy of which was reviewed by ProPublica, Ingrassia chided authorities for taking the action, saying the seizure of the Tates devices was not a good use of time or resources. The request to return the electronics to the Tates, he emphasized, was coming from the White House.
...
Ingrassias intervention on behalf of Tate and his brother, Tristan, caused alarm among DHS officials that they could be interfering with a federal investigation if they followed through with the instruction, according to interviews and screenshots of contemporaneous communications between officials.
One official who was involved and spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid facing retribution said they were disgusted by the requests brazenness and the high-handed expectation of complicity.

Disgusting that Trump found another role (not needing confirmation, I guess) for this piece of slime. But that's what makes him so attractive to Trump.
