"Bill Pulte Is a Trump Political Puppet" — Schumer Launches Sharp Attack

Chuck Schumer launched a sharp attack after President Donald Trump appointed Bill Pulte to serve as acting Director of National Intelligence. Schumer accused Pulte of being a “Trump political puppet” and warned that the intelligence community should protect the American people — not serve the political interests of one man. The appointment has triggered a major fight in Washington because Pulte is not a traditional intelligence pick. He currently serves as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
