WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s pick to lead a federal watchdog agency withdrew from consideration Tuesday after his offensive text messages were made public and GOP senators revolted.
Paul Ingrassia, who was nominated to lead the Office of Special Counsel, had been scheduled to have his confirmation hearing this week.
But after the texts came to light, several Republican senators said they would not support his nomination. They included some of the most conservative and stalwart Trump allies in the Senate.
“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,” Ingrassia posted in an online message.
