US EditionMultiple Trump White House officials have ties to antisemitic extremists
- In May 2025, NPR revealed that several Trump administration officials maintain connections with individuals known for antisemitic views, such as Holocaust deniers and those sympathetic to Nazi ideology.
- These ties are linked to officials like Paul Ingrassia, Rachel Cauley, Ed Martin, and FBI Director Kash Patel, who have been connected to figures promoting antisemitism or controversial rhetoric.
- Ingrassia, Homeland Security liaison, praised controversial influencer Andrew Tate, attended a 2024 rally led by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, and supported Jan. 6 defendant Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, described by prosecutors as a Nazi sympathizer.
- Kash Patel appeared eight times on Stew Peters' far-right podcast, who promotes Holocaust denial, while Ed Martin gave awards to Hale-Cusanelli before denouncing his views during failed Senate confirmation hearings.
- Critics contend that the administration leverages allegations of antisemitism against its political adversaries yet fails to address similar issues among its own members, calling into question its genuine dedication to combating antisemitism.
