Trump Nominee Paul Ingrassia Withdraws Amid Controversy Over Racist Texts

Paul Ingrassia, nominated by Trump to lead the Office of Special Counsel, has withdrawn his nomination following the emergence of offensive and racist text messages. This decision comes amidst significant backlash from both Democrats and some Republicans, marking another instance of a Trump nominee facing withdrawal due to scandal. Ingrassia’s texts reportedly included a self-identified ‘Nazi streak,’ leading to condemnation from various quarters, including Senate leaders and advocacy groups. His withdrawal adds to a growing list of failed nominations for Trump, as several other candidates have stepped back from their roles amid controversy.
