Trump Announces Tulsi Gabbard’s Replacement as ODNI

President Donald Trump has selected Bill Pulte, his very visible Federal Housing Finance Agency director, to be the new acting director of national intelligence.

Pulte will temporarily replace outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Pulte will spend his time between controlling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and holding an enormously crucial role for the country’s national security. Trump touted Pulte’s “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” in a Tuesday post naming him as the new acting director. Pulte is a staunch Trump loyalist, a regular in the eye-catching headlines of Trump 2. 0 and a constant presence in the president’s orbit in the White House and in Palm Beach.
