Paul Ingrassia, President Trump's nominee for the Office of Special Counsel, is facing scrutiny after a report revealed he sent text messages making inflammatory remarks about the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and referring to himself as having a 'Nazi streak.' Ingrassia, who currently serves as a White House liaison at the Department of Homeland Security, also compared Martin Luther King, Jr. to George Floyd in the messages. His Senate confirmation hearing is set for Thursday. Ingrassia's lawyer has questioned the authenticity of the messages, suggesting they may have been manipulated to harm his nomination. The White House and Department of Homeland Security have not commented on the matter.
