Overview

  • Paul Ingrassia, a 29-year-old lawyer and former far-right podcast host, has been appointed as the Trump administration's liaison to the Department of Homeland Security.
  • Ingrassia previously advocated for martial law and a military-run revote in key swing states to overturn the 2020 election results, a proposal deemed unconstitutional under the 20th Amendment.
  • His social media and podcast posts branded Republicans like Mike Pence and Bill Barr as 'traitors' and called for purges of dissenting voices within the GOP.
  • Ingrassia was previously pushed out of his role at the Department of Justice after clashing with leadership over hiring practices that prioritized loyalty to Trump.
  • Since his new appointment, Ingrassia has been involved in controversial actions, including attending the release of January 6th convicts and working closely with senior administration officials.
