Paul J. Ingrassia, President Trump’s former liaison for the Department of Homeland Security and a Gateway Pundit contributor, has launched a massive $150 million defamation lawsuit against Politico and its reporter Daniel Lippman.
This comes just days after Ingrassia was forced to withdraw his nomination to lead the Office of Special Counsel due to a vicious witch hunt orchestrated by far-left outlets desperate to derail President Trump’s agenda to drain the swamp.
Ingrassia announced the lawsuit Monday night on X:
“ANNOUNCEMENT: I have just filed a $150,000,000 defamation lawsuit against Politico and Daniel Lippman. Very proud of all the hard work done by my absolutely incredible legal team – the Truth will finally come out, and Justice will be served!”
The suit, filed in Virginia and confirmed by his counsel Edward Andrew Paltzik of Taylor Dykema PLLC, targets Politico’s October 9 article by Lippman titled “Key Trump nominee accused of sexual harassment.”
According to the statement from Paltzik, the allegations are “categorically false,” stressing that “Paul has never sexually harassed anyone—full stop.”
Paltzik called the legal action “a landmark, powerful, and necessary” step, adding that the past two weeks had been “extraordinarily difficult for Paul and his family,” yet he has maintained “incredible composure under fire.”
Attorney Paltzik told The Gateway Pundit,
“Paul Ingrassia’s case is about one of the most substantial threats to the future of Western Civilization and to our one-of-a-kind Republic in particular: the Far Left’s weaponization of journalism. We can no longer afford to sit back and just hope against hope that the situation will improve. Only by fighting back in the courts against this weaponization, which is exactly what Mr. Ingrassia is courageously doing, will prevail against this scourge.”
