'Extreme by MAGA standards': Law expert terrified at 'delusional' Trump nominee

A legal expert sounded the alarm over President Donald Trump's nomination of a MAGA influencer to lead an obscure but important federal agency.

The president nominated far-right podcaster Paul Ingrassia to head up the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which was set up by Congress after Watergate to protect whistleblowers and other federal workers from unlawful employment practices, as well as enforcing the Hatch Act that forbids political activity in the federal workplace, wrote former prosecutor Barbara McQuade for MSNBC.
