Paul Ingrassia (lawyer)

Paul Joseph Ingrassia (born May 13, 1995) is an American attorney who has served as the acting general counsel of the General Services Administration since December 2025 and the deputy general counsel of the agency since November 2025. Ingrassia served as the White House liaison to the Department of Homeland Security from February to November 2025 and to the United States Department of Justice from January to February 2025.

Ingrassia studied mathematics and economics at Fordham University. After graduating from Cornell Law School in 2022, he worked for the National Constitutional Law Union and for attorney Joseph D. McBride. Ingrassia's Substack page has been cited by President Donald Trump on several occasions; in January 2024, Trump repeated Ingrassia's false claim that Nikki Haley was ineligible to serve as president. Ingrassia also provided legal representation for the Tate brothers amid their investigation for sex trafficking.

In January 2025, Emil Bove, the acting deputy attorney general, named Ingrassia as the White House liaison to the Department of Justice. Amid a dispute with Chad Mizelle, Attorney General Pam Bondi's chief of staff, Ingrassia was reassigned to the Department of Homeland Security the following month. In May, Trump nominated Ingrassia to be special counsel of the United States. His nomination was withdrawn in October after Politico published offensive remarks on race and Nazism that Ingrassia had allegedly texted, along with racial posts on his public social media account. He was appointed the deputy general counsel of the General Services Administration the following month and the agency's acting general counsel in December.
