Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel—30-year-old Paul Ingrassia with only one year of legal experience—withdrew his nomination after Politico revealed text messages where he admitted having “a Nazi streak in me from time to time” and called for Martin Luther King Jr. Day to be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell.” The hosts reveal how Ingrassia, a Cornell Law School graduate who worked for attorney Joseph McBride defending January 6 rioters and Andrew Tate, gained Trump’s attention through pro-MAGA Substack posts and was appointed White House liaison to the Department of Justice before being reassigned to Homeland Security after clashing with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s chief of staff. They detail how the texts—sent this year, not decades ago—included Italian slurs for Black people, statements that “every single” Black holiday “needs to be eviscerated,” rejection of the principle that “all men are created equal,” and warnings against trusting “a Chinaman or Indian,” while Ingrassia was also investigated for allegedly canceling a female colleague’s hotel room in Orlando and telling her she’d have to share his, leading even Republican senators like Rick Scott, Rand Paul, and John Thune to oppose his confirmation despite support from Laura Loomer and ties to white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
