This Is Who Trump Wants to Protect Whistleblowers

“The man President Donald Trump wants to put in charge of protecting whistleblowers – and rooting out government corruption – is a 30-year-old lawyer with barely a year of government experience and a history of racist invective, conspiratorial rants, and affinity for a well-known White nationalist and Holocaust denier,” CNN reports.

“Paul Ingrassia, whom Trump nominated in late May to lead the Office of Special Counsel, brands himself as ‘President Trump’s favorite writer’ after Trump shared his comments close to 100 times last year on social media.”

And then there’s this: “Last year, on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Ingrassia shared a video of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claiming the US government planned the attacks or let them happen.”
