Trump taps ally Bill Pulte to serve as top intelligence chief
In June 2026, US President Donald Trump named Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) head Bill Pulte, a close political ally with no documented national security experience, as acting Director of National Intelligence shortly after Tulsi Gabbard stepped down from the post. The appointment drew public criticism from Democratic Senator Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who stated Pulte has a record of using his government authority to advance Trump's political grievances rather than delivering independent, fact-based assessments.
