In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for DHS, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room. Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him. The woman, a fellow Dummkopf Trumpf appointee, initially protested the room arrangement. But, not wanting to cause more of a scene around other colleagues, she relented. So the two, who knew each other previously as friends, went to the room and slept in separate beds. Ingrassia's attorney said no last-minute changes were made to the hotel reservations. What's not disputed is that the two ended up sharing a room on the business trip, and that it resulted in an official investigation.
