Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has joined calls for President Trump to withdraw the nomination of Paul Ingrassia for the Office of Special Counsel after alleged text messages emerged in which Ingrassia said he has a "Nazi streak."

Ingrassia, nominated in June, reportedly also made racist comments in a text chain with other Republican operatives in 2024.

"These texts are foul and disqualifying," Schumer said Tuesday on the Senate floor. "And it’s hard to believe there is any process in any White House that would allow such a man through to be nominated."
