G.O.P. Senators Clash with Trump Watchdog Over Texts

Paul Ingrassia, a constitutional law specialist and host of a far-right podcast, has faced scrutiny following reports of racially insensitive text messages. The podcast, featuring his sister, has been associated with controversial viewpoints, including a fabricated claim regarding former President Nikki Haley’s eligibility to contest the election. Ingrassia’s past public statements have sometimes been interpreted as advocating for policies that could be considered discriminatory. The reported texts are currently under investigation, and Republican senators have expressed concern about his past rhetoric and potential impact on the watchdog’s impartiality. The Senate is expected to discuss the matter further.
