US EditionTrump Administration Cites Support From Jewish Groups for Nominee — Some Groups Dispute Involvement
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The Trump administration cited Jewish group endorsements for Paul Ingrassia despite denials from most groups, with one group of 50,000 members possibly supporting him, officials said.
- The Trump administration defended Paul Ingrassia, a 30-year-old attorney appointed in May to oversee the Office of Special Counsel, highlighting endorsements from several Jewish organizations.
- The nomination drew controversy due to Ingrassia's history of promoting conspiracy theories, defending white nationalist Nick Fuentes, and posting harsh rhetoric about Israel and the 2020 election.
- The administration identified four organizations as supporters of Ingrassia, including the Zionist Organization of America and the Israel Heritage Foundation, although several of these groups stated they had not endorsed him and some were unfamiliar with him.
- Stephen Soloway, executive president of the Israel Heritage Foundation, expressed his organization's backing of Ingrassia, while Stuart Eizenstat, who leads the Holocaust Memorial Council, clarified that the council does not take official stances on nominee endorsements.
- This dispute over endorsements highlights ongoing tensions around Ingrassia's nomination and scrutiny of his ties to extremist figures amid pushback from Jewish groups and the House Jewish Caucus.
