President Donald Trump has named Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte as the acting head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), substituting Tulsi Gabbard, who has stepped down from the position.
Trump confirmed the move on Tuesday via Truth Social, citing that Pulte “has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets, and over 10 Trillion Dollars at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago.” As per Trump, Pulte will remain in his current role while temporarily taking on intelligence leadership responsibilities.
