At least four Republican senators, including Senate Majority Leader, have signaled their opposition to Paul Ingrassia’s nomination as the head of the Office of Special Counsel. The senators cited a report alleging that Ingrassia sent racist texts, prompting concerns about his suitability for the role. Ingrassia, a self-described constitutional law expert who previously hosted a far-right podcast with his sister, has a contentious history, including promoting a false theory that Nikki Haley was ineligible for the presidency.
