Summary
President Donald Trump announced that Bill Pulte, the current director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, will serve as acting director of national intelligence. The appointment places Pulte in charge of the nation's 18 intelligence agencies following the departure of Tulsi Gabbard. Critics have questioned the move because of Pulte's lack of national security experience, while supporters point to his leadership roles in housing finance. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
