Popular Trump official Paul Ingrassia announced on Thursday he was appointed the Deputy General Counsel at the General Services Administration.
As many of our readers know, Paul Ingrassia was a contributing writer here at The Gateway Pundit before he went to work for President Trump in his administration this year.
The talented 30-year-old lawyer had been serving since February as White House liaison to the Department of Homeland Security. Ingrassia stepped down from his post in October after it was clear he would not have the votes of several self-righteous Republican Senators to confirm him.
In an email obtained by POLITICO, he told colleagues that he is leaving to become deputy general counsel at the General Services Administration.
President Trump reportedly called Paul Ingrassia into his office and offered him the job on Wednesday night.
In October, Paul Ingrassia released a public statement withdrawing from the Thursday hearing, citing a lack of Republican votes:
“I will be withdrawing myself from Thursday’s HSGAC hearing to lead the Office of Special Counsel because unfortunately I do not have enough Republican votes at this time. I appreciate the overwhelming support that I have received throughout this process and will continue to serve President Trump and this administration to Make America Great Again!”

This withdrawal highlights a shameful betrayal by spineless RINOs in the Senate, who caved to the media’s witch hunt.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, for instance, publicly declared that the nomination “is not gonna pass,” joining a handful of other Republicans in abandoning a true patriot.
Ingrassia has been a loyal America First champion since the famous escalator ride. On the campaign trail, his political commentary and legal analysis relentlessly exposed the lawfare campaigns of Letitia James, Fani Willis, and Jack Smith.
That work didn’t just resonate with the base — it earned the respect of President Trump himself. The President cited Ingrassia’s analysis in court on multiple occasions, alongside renowned scholars such as Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley. Over the last two years, Ingrassia’s insights have been reposted on Truth Social at least one hundred times.
Obviously, Ingrassia is important to President Trump and his administration. President Trump offered Paul another high-level position just three weeks after he left his old job!
