Paul Ingrassia on Tuesday withdrew his nomination to be the head of the Office of Special Counsel after he reportedly referred to himself as having a "Nazi streak," among other racist comments.

"I will be withdrawing myself from Thursday’s [Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee] hearing to lead the Office of Special Counsel because unfortunately I do not have enough Republican votes at this time," Ingrassia posted on the social media site Truth Social.

"I appreciate the overwhelming support that I have received throughout this process and will continue to serve President Trump and this administration to Make America Great Again!" Ingrassia wrote.

While Ingrassia withdrew from being considered for the role, the Trump administration will have to withdraw its nomination.
