Withdrawn Trump nominee reportedly said he has 'Nazi streak'

Season 2025 Episode 294 | 6m 26s

President Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel is under fire. In a text chain obtained by Politico, Paul Ingrassia made multiple racist remarks, including saying the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell,” and admitting to what he called "a Nazi streak in me from time to time." Geoff Bennett discussed more with Jeff Sharlet.
