Paul Ingrassia, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel, withdrew after reports of offensive texts he allegedly sent sparked Republican opposition. Ingrassia, 30, said he lacked the votes, and a White House official confirmed he is no longer the nominee. Politico reported messages in which he described a “Nazi streak” and denounced holidays honoring Black Americans. His lawyer questioned the messages’ authenticity. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Florida Senator Rick Scott signaled no support, while Democrat Chuck Schumer called the alleged messages “foul and disqualifying.”
