Truman Building earlier this month. \u201cIf you ever talk s&#8211;t about me or my family again, I will beat the f&#8212; out of you,\u201d Wax said, according to Motamedi\u2019s complaint. \u201cHe then forcefully pushed me before turning around and reentering the elevator,\u201d Motamedi claimed.<\/p>\n<p>A State Department source told the Mail that an investigation has been launched by the organization\u2019s Office of Special Investigations. <\/p>\n<p>A second source told the Mail that Motamedi\u2019s account about the explosive elevator blowup is erroneous. They said a chat about expenses quickly devolved into something else entirely, with the men verbally sparring over allegations that Motamedi had made remarks about Wax\u2019s Jewish heritage behind his back. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the record, I do not know what Mr. Wax was referring to with respect to his allegation that I had spoken about him or his family,\u201d Motamedi said in his complaint.<\/p>\n<p>However, the aforementioned source said that he was \u201cstrangely fixated\u201d on Wax\u2019s heritage. They said this was ongoing and likely led to the tension. <\/p>\n<p>Another source said the claims of antisemitism are unfounded and that the only time Motamedi ever mentioned Wax was when he was at the White House Presidential Personnel Office and opposed his hiring in the administration.<\/p>\n<p>Sources said a third Trump official, Charles Yockey, a special adviser at the State Department, was the only other person in the elevator when it kicked off. One added that he supported Wax\u2019s account that there was no physicality. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4626\">NFL Star and College Football Hall of Famer Dies at 64<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Mail also reported on concerns within the State Department, headed by Marco Rubio, that any investigation could be colored by the fact that Wax \u201chas the ear of Donald Trump.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people claim to have a relationship with Trump and don\u2019t,\u201d another source countered.<\/p>\n<p>Some sources said there could be video evidence; others said there is not\u2014so much is yet to be determined, but some think things could get very serious. \u201cI would imagine that most people would be terminated for this sort of engagement,\u201d one of the Mail\u2019s sources added. <\/p>\n<p>Another source from the pro-Motamedi camp made a telling remark about Wax. They said that for the usually dutiful and non-offensive Motamedi to file a complaint, \u201cit would mean that Gavin is once again doing some Gavin Wax things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is probably a reference to an incident last October where, according to another written complaint, Wax blew up at Michael Bartels, a senior adviser at the Small Business Administration.<\/p>\n<p>Bartels claimed that Wax forcefully demanded chat logs from him before the scandal surrounding the racist, antisemitic, and misogynistic Young Republican Telegram chats exploded. At the time, Wax was accused of being the leaker. He denied this. <\/p>\n<p>Bartels claimed that Wax threatened his professional standing if he didn\u2019t comply, and also raised the specter of legal trouble. <\/p>\n<p>Wax remained in his position after a probe by the White House Office of Political Affairs. <\/p>\n<p>Before entering the Trump administration, Wax led the New York Young Republican Club, the first Young Republicans chapter to endorse Trump\u2019s 2024 campaign. He got a shout-out from Trump for this at the group\u2019s annual gala in December 2023. \u201cLet me especially thank your president, Gavin Wax,\u201d Trump said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4624\">Airline Reveals Cause of Terrifying Cabin Smoke Emergency<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The State Department and Wax have been approached for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An \u201cabrasive\u201d State Department goon who \u201chas the ear of Donald Trump\u201d is being investigated for allegedly assaulting a colleague.
