Trump (R) Indicated He doesn't Plan to Nominate Bill Pulte (R), His New Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI), to Hold the Job Long-Term, amid Bipartisan Criticism of His Qualifications. "It's an acting position, he's not going to be permanent," Trump told Reporters 6/4/2026 in Discussing Pulte at an Oval Office Event, adding that "we're interviewing people right now but it's somebody just to take it over for a little while."
Trump Announced 6/2/2026 that He was Tapping Pulte to Replace Tulsi Gabbard (R) in Overseeing the Nation's 18 Intelligence Agencies. Pulte, a Close Trump Ally, has No Experience in Intelligence Operations.
Pulte joined the Trump Administration in 2025, as Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which Oversees Mortgage Backers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, after Founding a Private Equity Company, and Serving on the Board of Pulte Homes, the Fortune 500 Home Building Company started by His Grandfather. Trump's Appointment of Pulte, met with Swift Criticism by Democrats and some Republicans, who Questioned whether He would have been able to gain Senate Confirmation, if Trump tried to give Him the Job on a Permanent Basis.
"I see no evidence of any qualifications for that job," Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), told Reporters. Beyond Pulte's Qualifications, Democrats also have raised Concerns about how Pulte has used His Low-ProfileHhousing Position, saying He has Improperly gone After Trump's Adversaries.
Pulte made Accusations against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook (D), who was Fired by Trump, but Remains on the Board, while She Challenges the Termination in Court. He also Referred Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) for Criminal Prosecutions over Alleged Homeowners' Insurance Fraud, that failed.
“Americans have already seen Pulte use the powers of his office at the Federal Housing Finance Agency to pursue Trump's Grievances and lend Credibility to Dubious Prosecutions of Trump’s perceived political opponents,” said Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA).
"He's a very smart guy and he may find out some things about the rigged elections," Trump said, indicating Later that He Expects Pulte to get Results. "It's short term, but he may be very effective for a short period of time," Trump said.
