President Donald Trump announced Paul Ingrassia, who is currently a White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, as his pick to head the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.

“Paul is a highly respected attorney, writer, and Constitutional Scholar, who has done a tremendous job serving as my White House Liaison for Homeland Security,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on May 29.

He graduated from Cornell Law School in 2022 and worked at a law firm for 10 months, according to his profile on LinkedIn.

The Office of Special Counsel investigates and prosecutes allegations of prohibited personnel practices (PPPs) of federal employees and applicants, especially retaliation for whistleblowing. The office also investigates allegations of wrongdoing within the executive branch and enforces the Hatch Act, which restricts partisan political activity by government employees.

3. Just graduated w/ 10 months experience @ a law firm and none of that experience has to do with his

… the job he was picked for? That’s OK because his job will just be to stop any legal actions
against Krasnov and his people for breaking any civil or criminal statutes.

Btw none of this matters because I don’t see America lasting much longer.

5. His resume...

Ingrassia has minimal legal experience: He served as a law clerk at Kasowitz Benson Torres for six months, then served as a summer associate for five months and law clerk for six months at New York-based law firm McBride. Ingrassia graduated from Fordham University—which Trump also attended before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania—in 2017 and Cornell Law School in 2022.

Ingrassia is a far-right political commentator who has written for The Daily Caller and The Gateway Pundit. Following the 2020 election, Ingrassia called for Trump to declare martial law to stay in office and even called for secession if efforts to overturn the election failed, CNN reported. He also denounced several conservatives who opposed violent measures to keep Trump in power.

Throughout his short legal career, the young Republican and far-right Substack author also represented alleged human trafficker and self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate, The Hill reported. He also pushed for white supremacist Nick Fuentes to be reinstated on X after he was banned for hate speech and antisemitic views. Ingrassia called it a First Amendment issue in a Substack post called “Free Nick Fuentes.”

Ingrassia worked for the New York-based McBride law firm, which pledged to combat “the Department of Justice’s malicious prosecution and horrific treatment of January 6th Detainees,” according to ABC News.
