Overview
- A GSA spokesperson confirmed that Paul Ingrassia is serving as deputy general counsel at the agency.
- Ingrassia withdrew last month from consideration to lead the Office of Special Counsel after Politico published alleged racist group texts.
- Before any hearing, Senate Leader John Thune said of the nomination, “He’s not going to pass.”
- Politico first reported his move to GSA, which Ingrassia told colleagues he accepted after President Trump offered the job Wednesday night.
- CNN’s KFile previously reported on his racist and conspiratorial speech and his ties to White nationalist Nick Fuentes, and he has served as White House liaison at DHS and earlier at the Justice Department.
