President Donald Trump nominates Paul Ingrassia as a former podcast host with longer inflammatory rhetoric and directs the Office of the U.S. Special Counsel.

"Paul is a highly respected lawyer, writer and constitutional scholar who has done a tremendous job in my White House liaison," Trump said in his social media platform Truth Truth social post.

Ingrassia is a far-right former podcaster and commentator and has a lengthy list of burning comments. He called for the announcement of January 6 as a national holiday to commemorate the protests of “great unfair protests affecting our electoral system” and dismissed the “PSYOP” attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

He worked for Andrew Tate, an influencer facing rape and human trafficking charges, and praised him as an "extraordinary person." He called Tate a "authoritarian dissident" and the title he said also applies to white nationalist Nick Fuentes, rapper Ye and Trump.

He also called on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to jail and called former Vice President Mike Pence a "FBI asset."

Ingrassia graduated from Cornell Law in 2022, joined the conservative think tank at the Claremont Institute later that year, becoming the leader of the Young Republican club in New York, before attending regularly at Trump rally in 2023 and 2024.

He is currently serving as a White House liaison with the Department of Homeland Security, formerly a government-Judgement Department, where he is seen walking in the hall, touting the president's agenda and telling people that he is acting as the "eyes and ears" of the White House.

His position in the special lawyer's office will require Senate confirmation.

OSC is an independent federal investigation and prosecution agency responsible for blocking federal employees from prohibited personnel practices, including retaliation for reports.

The agency head has confirmed it for five years, but Trump fired then-Hampton Dellinger earlier this year. Dellinger, a Biden nominee, was identified as the position last year and was fired in court but eventually dropped the lawsuit.

Ingracia thanks Trump for nominating him in a post on X.

“As special counsel, my team and I will do everything to restore the competence and integrity of the executive branch – prioritizing the elimination of waste, fraud and abuse in the federal workforce and revitalizing the rule of law and fairness in incubation law enforcement,” he wrote.
