Overview
- A letter from Democratic members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee urges GSA acting Administrator Michael Rigas and presidential personnel chief Dan Scavino to remove Ingrassia immediately and bar him from any other administration post.
- Ingrassia was appointed deputy general counsel at the General Services Administration in November and is now listed as the agency’s acting general counsel.
- The administration withdrew his nomination to lead the Office of Special Counsel in October after Republican senators signaled they would block it following reports of racist and antisemitic texts, including a message saying he has a "Nazi streak."
- The senators referenced additional reported messages disparaging federal holidays honoring Black Americans and cited other controversies, including allegations of sexual harassment and public praise for figures such as Nick Fuentes.
- Signatories include Sens. Elissa Slotkin, Ruben Gallego, Gary Peters, Andy Kim, Maggie Hassan, and Richard Blumenthal; they requested a briefing by Dec. 9 and written answers by Dec. 12, and GSA did not provide immediate comment.
